AUGUSTA, O-A-.z
Sunday Morning, November 14, 1875.
K isagotami.
from buddhagosha’s “parables.”
Kisagotami, clamping to her breast
He r boy just dead, and with strange
fear possessed.
Ran through the (streets, besieging every
door
For some rare balm his lost life to re
store;
Until her neighbors, at this frantie grief,
For which the world Itself has no relief.
Began to say: “The girl has lost her
head—
What medicine is that which cures the dead?”
But one more wise, and taking pity’s part,
Offered this solace to her aching heart:
“Dear girl, I cannot proffer you much joy,
But there’s a doctor who vdll help your
boy.”
Asking his name, the girl ws s straightway
sent
To good Gotama, and to him she went.
"Good master, aid me. for I hear it said
You have the power to raise my child th it’s
dead.”
The Buddha answered: “If Ido this deed
’Tis needful you procure some mustard
seed
“Found in a house where neither groom
nor bride
Parent nor child, nor man nor maid, has
died.”
Then, with her child still c’asped about her
waist,
From house to house, a weary round she
paced
On her sad errand—but could cross no door
Where Death’s dark shadow had not passed
before.
One voice forever on her pathway flew;
"The dead are many, but the living few.”
So, when Gotama asked if she had brought
The mustard seed, so long and vainly
sought.
She said : “I have it not—each way I sped
I found but few were Jiving, many dead.”
And Buddha answered: "True enough,
most true,
Death comes to all, as it has come to you.”
S< > fled her grief, and seeing in the night,
At every house, a bright or fading light,
She said: “Our human lives are just the
same,
First an uprising, then a dying flame;
“Never on earth will such mutations cease,
But after death come rest and endless
peace.”
GLEANINGS.
Spanish women are great S’noras.
“ Belles ” call a greafmany people to
church. |
“ Let us cross over and rest under
the shade of the trees,” were the last
\>ords of Stonewall Jackson.
A Chicago man has lost his cheek.
The doctors took it away in removing
cancer. He won’t feel at home any more
in Chicago.
Japanese officials commit suicide
when found guilty of theft or embez
zlement. American officials retire to
their farms and receive the congratu
lations of friends.
When a stranger asked a Detroit
girl whom he met at a party if she was
married, she promptly replied: “ Not
quite, but I’ve sued three or four chaps
for breach of promise.”
James Fisk, Sr., has accomplished
some good, bad as that absurd boy of
his was. He has invented a harness
that saves the horse from all chafing,
and it is so made that a runaway horse
may be instantly freed from the ve
hicle.
John ISmith was born, baptised, ar
rested, shot, buried, married and sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life, all in
one week, recently, in Omaha. This
did not prevent his having his tooth
pulled and stopping his paper on the
following Monday either.
Soft hats have once more come into
favor with gentlemen. They are a
more sensible head gear than the hard
stove-pipes, which, for some not dis
coverable reason, are generally sup
posed to impart dignity to their wear
ers.
A fashionable woman’s clothes weigh
24 pounds, exclusive of bat, furs and
rubbers, while a man’s outfit hardly
goes over 15 pounds. This is a free
country, however, and any woman is at
liberty to carry as much as a mule can
draw, if she wants to.
Rev. Mr. Kalloch, of California, for
merly of Massachusetts, thinks that
there is no more sin in going to a thea
tre than in going to a church festival,
but that young men should not go to
either when their washing bills are un
paid.

PUR; and sitting up till
HWciock in the morning, ruins the
health and augments the old man’s
coal bill.
The folloving story is told of an old
St. Louisian abroad : “The old gentle
man (Fagin) went to the Oriental Bank
(English) tc purchase exchange, and
offered to give a check or draft on the
First National Bank of St. Louis in
payment. ‘St. Louis! St. Louis ?!’ re
plied the manager. ‘Where Is St.
Louis !! !’ Fagin looked at the mana
ger in dumi* amazement for a minute
or two, and then, 'raising himself to his
full height with clenched fist, looking
the very picture of Tom Benton in
palmy days, replied: ‘St. Louis, sir, is
a great city on the Mississippi river—a
stream, sir; which, if turned on the
islands of 3reat Britain, would wash
them all iito the sea in twenty-four
hours !’ lagin got his exchange, but
not until tha bank had telegraphed, at
Fagin’s expense, for information.” —

Why and When Lamps Explode.
All explosions of coal-oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that col
lects in the space above the oil. When
full of oil of course a lamp contains no
gas, but immediately on lighting the
lamp consumption of oil begins, so on
leaving a space for gas, which com
mences to form as the lamp warms up,
and after burning a short time, suffi
cient gas will accumulate to cause an
explosion. The gas in a lamp will ex
plode only when ignited. In this re
spect it is like gunpowder. Cheap or
inferior oil is always the most dan
gerous. The flame is communicated to
the gas in the following manner: The
wick tube in all lamp burners Is made
larger than the wick which is to pass
through the wick work tightly in the
burner; on the contrary, it is essential
that it move up and down with perfect
ease. In this way it is unavoidable
that space in the tube is left along the
sides of the wick sufficient for the
flame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas.
Many things may occur to cause the
flame to pass down the wick tube and
explode the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on a ta
ble or mantle, and a slight puff of air
from the open window, or the sudden
opening of a door, cause an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from a table or mantle and instantly
explode.
3. A lamp is taken into an entry
where there is a draft, or out doors,
and an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight
of stairs, or is raised quickly to place
be mantle, resulting in an explo
sion! In/ill the cases the mischief is
done V ( tlO air movement—either by
suddetJ checking therafter, or forcing
air dap the chimny against the
flame. / ...
5 bwing down the chimney to ex
tinguJthe light is a frequent cause
of exjf ioa - , . , .
6 Jimp explosions have been
cau'sefy using a chimney broken off
at tl| to P or one that has a piece
b okP ut whereby the draft is ren
qgrefiriable and the flame unsteady.
7 fnetimes a thoughtless person
put Jsmall sized wick in a large bur
nerjis leaving considerable space in
the#® along the edges of the wick.
‘old burner, with its air-drafts
< lcjd up, which rightfully should be
thM a away, is sometimee continued
and the final result is explosion.

A GRAND GEORGIA ENTERPRISE.
The Great Events Of The Coming
Year.
■VTO man or family should be without a
il newspaper. It is the most intelligent
and entertaining visitor to any household,
and is the best of all educators. Besides
this admitted fact, there are now addi
tional reasons for subscribing to a good
newspaper. Perhaps no year of the last
half century furnished a greater combina
tion of important and thrilling events than
will the year approaching. The Presidential
contest, the Gubernatorial election, the
Centennial and other great events trans
pire.
As in the past, so in the future.

system is only about one mill per pound on the oloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from Are than the card room.

These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac

The following are a tew among many testimonials whicn we have received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga. July 5,1875.
The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen : We have been running your Compound Opener Lappors and Finisher
Lappers, with Evenors, lor more than one year, and frankly say that they havo given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualitied en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Maohlnes.

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I
Langley, 8. €., April 14, 1873. f
The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.;
Gentlemen . f have been running your system erf Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, tor more than two vears past at the Cotton 41 ill of tne
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, w e haye not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have hail 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 socuFty against Are.
Yours, &e., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
OFFICHMASSACHUSETTS COTTON MILLS,!
Lowell, February 20, 1874. \
The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Masa.i
Gentlemen : This Company have now in use twenty of your Finisher Lappers, with
Eveners, and ten Compound Opener Lappers. Some of these machines have been at
work for ten years or more, and have always given us satisfaction, doing a large amount
of work, doing it well, at a low cost for labor and repairs. In our ‘‘Prescott Mill,” where
we have two Compound Opener Lappers, and four Finisher Lappers, we have averaged
the past seven weeks 39.267 lbs. Cloth weekly. Yarn averaging about No. 22. Cost one
14-100 mills (.00114) per lb. of cloth. We consider them a first oiass machine in all re
spects. Yours very truly, .
