AUGHTSTA, O-Al.: Saturday Morning, Sept. 18, 1875.* CURRENT TOPICS. Many papers are more severe than just in their remarks about drummers. They are commercial travellers following a legit imate business. They furnish revenue for railway and hotels, and merchants find them very useful in exhibiting samples .and talking over prices. They are always cour teous and try hard not to bore anybody or interfere with a man when he is busy. The severest criticism we have seen is the following from the Atlanta Commonwealth: “And now the polite, oily-tongued and courteous drummer patrols our streets again. Drummers are strange animals. They are not made of flesh and blood and water, like other people, but are composed of blood and brass. They can stand up to a merchant’s face and tell him what he needs better than he could possibly learn by himself. They can revolutionize a mer chant’s mind in less time than it will take them to get at him. They gain the ill will of all the boys at a dance, because they monopolize the young la lies; and the good will of all the hotel men. barbers, cigar venders, and saloon keepers of these little towns because they patronize them so heavily. They are strange beings.” This is rich reading when it is known that nearly every house and newspaper in Atlanta has is drummer constantly in the field, ’they persisteuly drum the whole of Georgia, Alabama and _South Carolina. Forty per cent of the trade of that town is secured by drumming. The Herald half of the Commonwealth has a drummer always in the field. We do not see a particle of harm they do. These young men are working for an honest livelihood. They generally deal squarely, and almost invariably sell goods cheaper than they can be had Ly writing or tele graphing for them. We have in the United States $106,000,000 in specie and $750,000,000 in paper money. The only w *y to resume specie payments is to draw in the paper until it about bal ances the coin. The Radical plan is to do this by the year 1879, and Bristow is now hoarding up his gold for that purpose, liut before this can possibly be consum mated real estate will not sell for taxes, and as low' as everything is now it must come lower. Another plan for resumption is laid down as follows: Let the Treasury issue United States bonds and convert them into gold coin, as it is doing with bonds and converting into silver coin. The demand for our bonds in Europe (and where tne great bulk of specie is now held) will soon make the exchange for the gold which will be flowing back to this country. The demand for the artlc e will always bring it, if it is to be had. Since the war we have had very little use for the specie as a circulating medium, and it has naturally sought other channels of trade. Which means convert the present amount 1 1 greenbacks into an additional national debt, drawing interest payable in gold. Greenbacks are not now paying any inter est drawn from tax-payers. Increase the hold of the bondholders upon the country. They are a poor, suffering set who should be helped. The Largest Mau in the World. The death of a Mr. Blusher near Green ville, Tenn., who wore a boot eighteen inches long, was nine feet in height and measured seven feet around the chest, re calls an obituary notice published in the Memphis papers some twenty years ago, of another Tennessee giant. It ran as fol lows : “The funeral sermon of Mr. Miles Dar win, who died at his residence in Hender son county, was preached on the 4th Sun day in June, five miles southwest from Lexington, Tenn. The Masonic fraternity were in attendance, in full regalia, on the occasion. “The deceased was, beyond all question, the largest man in the world. His height was seven,feet six inches, two inches higher than Porter,the celebrated Kentucky giant. His weight was a fraction over one thou sand pounds. It required seventeen men to put him in his coffin; took over one hun dred feet of plank to make his coffin. He measured around the waist six feet four inches.” The Jackson Family. We find the following paragraph In an exchange: Isaac Jackson’s descendants celebrated last week, at Hampton Grove, Pennsylva nia, the 150th anniversary of his settlement near that town. In 1725, Isaac Jackson, a tfuaker, came to America to secure the <uvil and religious liberty denied him in England. Among his many descendants were Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jonathan .“Stonewall”) Jackson, the late Dr. Samuel Jackson, of Philadelphia, and Dr. Isaac W. Jackson, the mathematician. Two thousand members of the Jackson family had been invited to attend the cele bration, and 900 were present. Andrew Jackson did not belong to that family at all. His father was an Irishman who settled in the lower edge of North Carolina, where Andrew was born. AIR. J kfferson Davis was taken quite sick after he arrived in Kansas City on Monday, on account of his unusual oratori cal efforts while in delicate health. He re ceived fifteen invitations to speak at differ ent places shortly after he got to Kansas City, but was obliged to decline them all. He will not be able to deliver an address at Columbus, Indiana, to-morrow. A Michigan paper says that the people of England regard Capt. Webb, the man who recently swam the British Channel, as a greater man than Zaoh Chandler. And so do we. Chandler couldn’t swim any thing. The fact is, he has had such an an tipathy to water ever since he was old enough to know that it isn’t whiskey, that fie has never learned to swim. Spotted Tail has dropped $1,000,000 in his price for the Black Hills. The other day he stated positively that he would stick to $7,000,000. He now asks $6,000,000. Borne of his companions want $50,000,000. Delano told Red Cloud last spring that $25,000 was sufficient. The Indians are probably going to stick to the millions, if they do, it is doubtful if the Commis sioners will conclude their business at the Council. Now another joy is taken from US. George Washington had no ancestors. Somebody in England has discovered that the Father of his Country had ab solutely no forefathers to speak of. Without a pedigree, respect for his memory will wane among the English, and even here, the flavor of the Cen tennial will be dashed with acid, in con sequence of this untimely revelation. Americans are good Republicans, but they do like to trace their line back a couple of hundred years or so, and they “float” upon a tourist with a title. It’s an innocent vanity. A young man in Muneie, Ind., was escorting a young woman to his home in a carriage the other day, when he came to a bridge that bad been over flowed by a freshet. He drove his horse into the water; but when the carriage was threatened with submersion, and the horse began to make an effort to get away, he cut the traces, sprang upon the animal’s back and set out for the shore, leaving his companion in the middle of the stream. The torrent overturned the carriage and the girl was drowned. Betsey Carr, of Claremont, N. H., is deaf and dumb. With these wonderful qualifications for making a man happy, she has lived 104 years without marry ing or being given in marriage. GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. James M. Dayson, a prominent citizen of Wilkes county, is dead, aged 64. Waynesboro Expositor: The remaining prisoners, connected directly or indirectly with the insurrection fiasco, were discharg ed yesterday afternoon. Dr. T. L. Anderson’s residence in Wash ington was burned by fire on Tuesday night. Insured for $3,000 in the London, Liverpool and Globe. Dr. Thomas D. Warrall, Managing Direc tor of the Mississippi Valley Trading Com pany, delivered an address in Macon on Thursday night. The Covington Enterprise has entered the field against the Sunny South in answering questions. Here is a specimen: “If a man fiddle.-, you literally to death, what are you to do for relief? “Sufferer.” Oglethorpe Echo: There is a gentle man in this county who has a stalk of corn with twenty-seven ears on it!— He is too Wise, however, to speak of it without showing the same. It will be on exhibition at the Echo office soon. The Conyers lawyers are talking about lumping their libraries. The idea is a good one. It would be better to do this than keep up the old borrowing system. There is no getting around supplying those too stingy to buy books, and it is better to pile them all together at once and be done.with it. Sawyer: Col. Hardeman has taken to the mountains. He goes up to introduce his celebrated chinquepin picker. He spoke day before yesterday at Canton, and goes from there to Rabun. Evil-minded persons say that he is electioneering for Governor, but it is not so. Ho goes solely in the interest of his patent picker. Covington Enterprise: Our Billie walked down to Monticello to see Sheeut. editor Jasper county Banner. Sheck wasu’tthere, but i ill discovered what he took to be the foreman. The “nigger” informed him “dat Mr. She-cut wan’r. dar, an’ hecouldn’t git out de paper ’cept he had copy.” Bill walked right off with the opinion that Sliecut was a fraud. Marietta Journal: Last week a farmer was plowing in Gilmer county, when his plow struck a hollow log, tearing off a piece of it, when out rolled eight hundred and five dollars in gold. Th tis the kind of country our Marietta and North Georgia Railroad is going to run through. * * Our jail is now harboring quite a number of illi it distillers. They were told to keep ‘stilt,” and kept “still” very much, but not sufficient!v “still” to keep from “ worming ” themselves behind the bars. When the circus was performing in Rome the other day, the one hundred year old trick of the drunken man stumbling into th • ring and the clown calling upon the officers of the law, was successfully played upon J. M. Jenkins, the Sheriff of the coun ty. He rallied to the assistance of the clown promptly, and after tussling with the drunkard (?) for some time, was dumb founded to see him suddenly jump upon a horse, tty around the ring, throw off old clothes and appear in tights and spangles. Jenkins is sorry he ran for Sheriff. Answer'.—Grease Thomas’ old fiddle-bow with a meat skin, and make kindling wood out of those old fiddles over that “Sulli van boy’s” head, and you will get relief. When a fellow catches fiddling, and allows the disease to become ch.onic, it requires the most violent remedies to effect a cure. If we had a boy, and that boy was to take that disease, we would first salivate him with a boot-jack, and kick him nine times around the county for a month, which we think would make a permanent cure. Atlanta Constitution: The pooling conven tion is one of the mysteries of the day in this southeastern country. It does not ap pear to be a very harmonious institution, to judge from the frequency with which it is called together and the visible evidences of a “shinny on your own side” spirit which surround the occasions. The rail roads are very generally represented in this meeting of the convention, and the session is evidently one of great interest to the im mediate parties, who upon their part, are as cool to reporters as though they had al ready begun their winter business. The convention met yesterday afternoon at the Kimball House, and organized with the pres ident, Gov. Jos. E Brown, in the chain. A committee, for some unknown purpose, was appointed, and remained out for some time. So far as we learned, nothing of a definite character tianspired in the conven tion up to the latest hour when we had ad vices. The question of rates was not enter ed into. The question of an arbitration committee to settle all disputes that may arise between the parties to the pools, we are told, did not meet with very general favor, as being an unnecessary encum brance, and nothing was done apout the matter. The fall crops are the main objects in the eyes of the convention, and the main movements will be for the purpose of orga uizing transportation so as to move these crops to the best advantage and with the greatest profit. What the modus operandi will be, we do not know, but suppose the developments of to-day will fully exhibit the plan to be pursued. Lavender. How prono wo are to hide and hoard Each little token love has stored, 1 o tell of happy hours; We lay aside with teud“r care A tattered book, a curl of hair, A bunch of faded flowers. When Death has led with pulseless hand Our darlings to the silent land, Awnile we sit bereft. But time goes on; anon we rise, Our dead being buried from our eyes, We gather what is left. The books they loved, the songs they sang, Ihe little lute whose music rang So cheerily of old: The pictures we have watched them paiut, The last-plucked flower, with odor faint, That fell from fingers cold. We smooth and fold with reverent care The robes they, living, used to wear; And painful pulses stir, As o’er the relics of our dead, With bitter rain of tears, we spread Palo purple lavender. And when we come In after years. With only tender April tears On cheeks once white with care. To look at ti easures put away Despairing on that far-off cay, A subtle scent is there. Dew-wet and fresh we gather them, These fragrant flowers—now every stem Is bare of all its bloom. Tear-wet and sweet we strewed them here, To lend our relics sacred, dear, Their beautiful perfume. That scent abides on book and lute, Un curl, and flower, and with its mute But eloquent appeal, It wins from us a deeper sob For our lost dead -a sharper throb Than we are wont to feel. • It whispers of the long ago Its love, its loss, its aching woe, And buried sorrows stir; And tears like those wo shed of old Roll down our che ks as we behold Our faded lavender. [All the Year Round. She Knew the Woman.—At one of the railroad depots the other day a lady walked up to the ticket window and smilingly said : “ I know just how women are, and I don’t propose to bother any one. An swer me a few questions, and I’ll sit down and say nothing to no one till train time. How far is it to Grand Rapids ? What’s the fare ? When does the train leave? When do we arrive there? Where do they check bag gage? Which track will the train start from? How can I get to Muekegon from GW)d Rapids? How far is it,?— What’s the fare? Do I change cars? Is there a palace coack on the road? Shall I get a lay-over ticket? Can I check my baggage clear through? Is there a conductor on this road named Smith? Do you allow dogs in the pas senger cars? and can a child ten years old go for nothing?” Having been answered, she kept her promise to sit still, and the depot po liceman never had, the least bit of trouble in seeing her off.—[Detroit Free Press. “Thunder!” exclaimed a man, rush ing into a railroad telegraph station the other day. “.The express train’s gone off the big bridge!” “Many kill ed many killed?” screamed the by standers. “Not a one,” replied the oth er; M she just went on at one end anu went off at the other, just as usual.’ Happiness is not in greenbacks, but In a spirit of contentment. Neverthe less, money does not necessarily dis tress people. We recollect having five dollars and a half once upon a time, and were not all unhappy thereat. A deposit of red granite resembling that of Aberdeen has been discovered In Stearns county, Minnesota. It is ex pected to prove very valuable.

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 tho greatest con siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against tire. Yours, Ac., M. F.
