AUGUSTA, QA.;
Tncsdar Morning, November 23. 1875.
A Constant Reader,
BY P ARMEN AS MIX.
The overworked scribe. of the “ Mudviile
Gazette,”
Sat wondering,—moneyless wight,—
if his oflice would ever be cleared of Its
debt,
the times so deplorably tight,—
\\ hen the tread of old leather was heard
on the stair
..And a strauger stepped into the room,
\V ho asked with the “ don’t let me bother
you," air.
Which the boro is so apt to assume—
“ How are ye? ” The editor roso with a
smile
And pleasantly ylolded his chair—
Placed tlie visitor’s sadly unboautiful tile
(Which exhibltod symptoms of wear)
On the top of the desk, along side of his
own
(A shocking old plug, by the way),
And then asked in a rather obsequious tone,
“ Can we do anything for you to-day? ”
“ No—l jest called to eoe yo ’’—the visitor
said; *
“ I’m a friend to the newspapor man.”—
Here he ran a red handkerchief over his
head,
And acceptod tho editor’s fan—
“ 1 hev read all the pieces you’ve writ for
your sheet.
And they’re straight to tho p’lnt, I con
fess—
That ’ar slap you gin Keyser was sartlnly
noat—
You’re an ornyment, sir, to the press! ”
‘‘l am glad you are pleased,” said the
writer, ‘‘indeed;
Hut you praise me too highly, by far—
Just select an exchange that you are anx
ious to read,
And while reading it, try this cigar.
By tho way, I’ve a melon laid up for atroat,
I’ve been keeping it nestled in Ice,
It’s a beauty, sir, fit for an angel to oat—
Now, perhaps, you will relish a slico?”
Then tho stranger rolled up half a dozen or
more
Of tho choicest exchanges of all—
Helped himself to the fruit, threw the rinds
on the floor,
Or Hung them at flies on the wall.
He assured his new friend that his “pioccs
were wrote
In a manner oncommonly able”—
As he wiped his red hands over tho editor’s
coat
That hung at the side of the table.
“By tho way, I’ve neglected to ask you
four name,”
tho scribe as tho stranger aroso;
“ That’s a fact,” he replied, “ I’m Abimalech
Banin,
You have heard o’ that name, I suppose?
I’m a-livin’ out hero on the Fiddletown
Creek
Where I own a good house and a lot;
The * Gazette ’ gets around to me onceevery
week—
I,m the constantost reader you’vogot!”
“ Abimalech Bamo,” mused the editor,
“B-a-m-e—
--(Hero his guest begged a chow of his
* twist ’)
“ 1 am sorry to say your mellifluous name
Doesn’t happen to honor my list! ”
** 'Sposo not;was the answer—”no reason
it should,
For ye see I jino lots with Bill Prim —
He’s a reg’lar subscriber and pays yo In
wood,
And 1 borry your paper o' him 1 ”

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
Georgia Politics—A Distinguished
Hebrew Interviewed.
[Newnan Star.]
Wo advertised a short time ago for a
reporter, and had several applications
Immediately. Wo selected a red-headed
hoy from Carroll county, at throe dol
lars a month, with the privilege of
riding free on tire railroads, provided
he could get on the cow-catchers of the
engine without being seen. He is an
industrious boy, and as soon
as we swore him in he wanted to
go to Atlanta and get up news.
He said he’d rather travel on the
night train, as mosquitoes wore not so
bad, and we let him have his way about
It. Several times tho engineer thought
he saw a caw on tho track, and blowed
on brakes, but our man never said a
word, but he froze to the cow-catcher
and went to sloep just like he owned a
Pullman palace sleeping car. On his
arrival in Atlanta, he immediately went
to interview Gen. Gordon, but was dis
appointed to learn that this distin
guished statesman was at his farm near
Decatur, attending to the grafting of
some onions on to fig trees as recom
mended by ltov. G. W. Howard.
Our j’oung man next sought for
Gen. Colquitt, but ho too was absent,
as he had gone to Cross-Auchor with a
couple of Grangers to address the
Ladies’ Centennial Association for the
preservation of gooseberries.
His face brightened as he thought of
James, and forthwith he broke for the
bank at a rate of speed that George
Adair, Dick Peters or any street car
mulo might have admired. But when
he got to the bank he found James
busy trying to discount a note on Carey
Stvles.
Then tho young man became dis
coumged, but he concluded he would
go up Whitehall street and see the
sights. And as ho wended his way
along, with both eyes and his mouth
wide open, he finished off the last
piece of ginger cake he brought from
home, and wondered whether he should
evor bo like Ben Franklin, and becomo
minister to Eugland. As good luck
would have it, Dave Meyer spyed him
out on the sidewalk and invited him
in, whereupon the following colloquy
ensued:
Meyer—ls you mit de nowsbaber in
Newnan ?
Kep.—Yes, sir, I come to Atlanta to
get some nows for the paper.
M. —I can tell you sometings.
Kep.—Would you be willing to an
swer a few questions, with a view to
their publication ?
M.—Certaiment.
Kep.—Well, then, Mr. Meyer*, what
do you think of the currency question ?
Are you in favor of expansion, or a
return to specie payments ?
M.—(Excited.) Expension be tam!
We want no more rag-baby. In Jerusa
lem, dare vas no greenbags and shin
blaster—it vas sheckles of silver mit
gold. My grand-father kept a sthore
dare, and he take no greenbags. He
see a man cornin’ mit greenbags, he’d
turn him over to der berlico!
R—Very well, Mr. Meyer, I see our
views agree on the currency, now then
who is your preference for next Gov
ernor?
M—Veil, I tole you dose tings. Col
quitt, he’s good man, but too much
Mefodis, too much Grange. He mix
tings up too much. James, he clever
man, he make much monish, he giv to
de poor, ho build much churches, but
he no build synagogue. He want to
put what you call de testament in de
Public school to make my little Israelite
a Christian! No by tam ho no good. /
It—Well then, what do you think of
Smith?
M—(with smiling face), Schmit is de
man. He make good gubner, he no
preach, no Mefodist, no Grange, he go
right long. I jiets ail de jewels oh de
house of Meyer on Schmit
B—Well, Mr. Meyer, what do you
think of the trouble about State Treas
urer Jones?
M—Jack Jones is an honest man, but
he don’t know how to keep de book.
Dem taca yankee sharpers, dey poke
de finger in his eye, but Schmit, he
watch 'um, j
Our reporter then rose to ieav#, when
Mr. Meyer asked him to take some
thing. Says Meyer, we have de Bhlne
wine, de corn viskey, and some tings
vich we makes in de sthore for de
country trade, but I don’t advise jou to
take him. After drinking a quart of
Bhine-wino and a bucket-full of corf
whiskey, our reporter got home alive,
pud this is what he says.

OYSTER SHELL LIME
The Cheapest and Best Fertilizer in
Use in Georgia.
NOTHING in the way of a Fertilizer and
Renovator of old soils has been found
equal to PURE OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good
effects are seen and continues for eight to
ton years. Lime is greatly beneficial to all
Grim Crops, applied as a top dressing, and
also to Potatoes and all root crops, and
should be applied in quantities not less
than sto 30 bushels per acre. For Compost
Heaps it is invaluable, and to the planters
of Georgia this plan of using Lime is speci
ally recommended to bring up our State to
the front rank In Agricultural matters. The
cheapness of our OYSTER SHELL LIME
will rocommend It to every farmer Who has
used fertilizers largely for the past few
years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its
long years of ’service, acting as it does for
years after its application has been forgot
ten. In soils abounding in vegetable sub
stances the manurial quality in Lime is
more fully recognized. Nitrogen abounds
in all soils of common fertility, but little of
it is availablo—Lime unlocks this store
house of Nitrogen and renders it readily
availablo for plant food. A splendid and
economical compost fertilizer may be mado
by thoroughly mixing one bushel of salt
and three of Lime, and let tho mixture
stand six to oight weeks bofsre using. This
is specially adapted to using in drills for
Turnips. The cheapness and facility of
procuring this wonderful ronovator of tho
soil ought to make it one of the first objocts
of tho farmor (who desires to improve his
laud) to obtain it. Nothing in the way of a
fertilizer or renovator has been found equal
to it, as proved by the increased yield of
crops and permanent improvement of tho
soil at a cost less, by far, than any other
manure. Wo are prepared to furnish PURE
OYSTER SHELL LIME In any quantity
at $lO per toil of 2,000 pounds, free of cart
age, on cars in Port Royal, S. 0.
W also have a Compound for Prevent
ing Hot in Grapes for sale at S3O per ton.

APPLETON’S
AMERICAN MOPIDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from New Type, and Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
Maps,
The work originally published under the
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA was completed in 1863, since which
time, tho wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of tho United Statos, and
tho signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced tho editors and
üblisherß to submit to an exact and thoro
ugh revision, and to issue anew edition en
titled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within tho last ton years the progress of
discovery in every depart meat of knowl
odgo has mado anew work of roforenee an
imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with tho discovorios of science,
and their fruitful application to tho indus
trial aud usoful arts, and tho convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions liavo occurred,
involving national changes of pocullar
momont. Tho civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when tho last
volume of tho old work appeared,
has happily boen ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dustrial activity has boon commenced.
Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Havo been made by tho indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
Tho great political revolutions of tho
last decade, with the natural rosuit of tho
lapse of time, havo brought into public
view a multitude of now men, whoso names
are in every one’s mouth, and of whoso
lives overy one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Groat battlos have beon fought
and important sieges maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only in the
newspapers or in tho transient publications
of tho day, but which ought now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
In preparing the present; edition for the
press, it has accordingly been tho aim of
tho editors to bring down the Information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most rocent
discoveries in science, of fresh pro
duction in literature,, and of tho nowost
Inventions In the practical Arts, as woll as
to give a succinct and original record of
of tho progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying It on
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but overy page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming in fact a now Cyclopaedia, with
tho samo plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex
penditure, and with such Improvements
in its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS,
Which are introduced for tho first time in
the present edition, have keen added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions In the text. They embrace all
branches of science and of natural history,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art, as well as tho various processes of
mechanics and manufactures. Although
intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains havo been spared to
insure their
ABTIBHO EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous,
and it Is belivod they will rind a wolcomo
reception as an admirable feature of the
Cyclopeodia, and worthy of its high charac
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of on h volumo. It
will be complete In Sixteen Large Octavo
