THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23,1875
Conohkss adjourned last Monday
for holidays, to meet again on the sth
of January.
Of the 17G members of the present
House of Representatives, only 122 of
them are lawyers. This, says an ex
change, is good nows for the bar in
the basement.
Major L. C. Brayan, editor-in-chief
and proprietor of the Thomasvillu
EnterpiHae, has retired from that jour
nal, having sold to Messrs C. P. Han
sel 1 and W. E. Davies, who will con
duct the paper in future.
The son of Senator Gordon basset

Rome Jivhitin: Wo saw a few days j
ago a family returning from Texas to j
their old home—glorious old Geor
gia. They left Polk county to go to !
Texas, then worth several thousands;
they left Texas after five years sufrer- J
ing and hard work, with barely
enough money to get them back to j
Polk. Take her up one side and down '
the other Georgia can’t be beat.
E. M. Randall, Chief Justice of!
Florida, is under a cloud almost as
heavy as that which hangs over a no
torious judge in this city. Randall is
an importation from Wisconsin, and
a very inferior lawyer. While a case
involving the validity of a large issue
of railroad bonds was pending before
him, Randall sold to a party interest
ed in the suit a piece of property
worth $2,500 for $7,500. The accom
modating purchaser won the case. —

Three nominations for president j
have lately been made. I. Boss Grant j
by Bishop Haven, on the Auti-Catho- j
lie platform; 11. George H. Pendle
ton, by Gen. Gartrell, at Atlanta,
platform not laid down; 111. John B.
Henderson, by Carl Scliurz, on the
anti-White House ring platform.
Meantime Sam Bowles keeps flying
the banner of Charles Francis Adams
the perpetual candidate.— N. Y. Sun.
Mr. O’Connor was surprised when
he learned the other day that the
newspapers were giving daily bulle
tins of his condition. Evidently he
does not appreciate the degree of ad
miration and regard in which he is
held by men of till parties and relig
ions in the community who arc watch
ing hopefully every day’s change in
his symptoms. He gave them the
greatest encouragement himself on
Monday', for their expectations went
up with a bound when they learned
that parts of the President’s message
had been read to him and that he was
still improving. There could scarcely
have been a more cheering sign.
The Now York Herald contrasts the
action of the members who are scram
bling for a share of the appointments
in the house with the patriotism of
Senator Gordon, as discloeed below:
His son, who is studying law, wish
ed to relieve his father from the finan
cial embarrasment of supporting him
during his studies, and lie secured
one of the best positions in the gift of
the door keeper. Senator Gordon,
who believes that nepotism is the
curse of our government, promptly
informed his son that he must not ac
cept the office, and made him send a
letter to Mr. Fitzhugli thanking him
for liis friendship and his offer, hut
positively declining any office what
ever. What is more remarkable
about this i3 the fact that Senator
Gordon who was ono of the most act
ive and influential advocates Mr. Fitz
liugh had in canvassing for the posi
tion, is not rich, and tho salary tend
ered young Gordon would have been
great assistance to him. But, unlike
the majority of tlie so-called great
men of this country, tho father refus
ed to countenance liis son’s aspira
tions for office, even for his own per
sonal benefit.
Brood ing Fish on the Plantation.
11l May, 1872, I put four trout,
about six inches long, and ten blue
bream, pomewhat smaller than a man’s
hand, in a natural pond on my planta
tion. Afterwards about a dozen
sand perch and silver fish were added
to the stock, and no further attention
given it.
The pond was of the kind so fre
quently met with in the middle coun
try—-a shallow basin, depended upon
rain for its supply of water, and hav
ing no outlet iuto a running stream.
In winter it covers some thirty
acres, and is four or live feet in the
centre; in summer it covers an area
of two-thirds less, and is usually two
or three feet in tlie centre. In the
winter it is a clean sheet of water; in
the summer there is considerable
growth of water grasses, with clear
areas.
This summer tho pond is full of
fish, and there have been taken from
it trout fourteen and sixteen inches
long, and bream ns large as they
usually grow. Tho fish are fat and
well flavored. Rural Carolinian.
I
Grange Head quarters.
The people of Louisville have pro
loured the location of the headquarters
j of the wide-spread order in their city; i
but they do not feel secure of their
i prize because tho national grange us j
j such has no pecuniary interest in j
their soil. A scheme lias therefore!
been devised, ostensibly with Seereta- I
! ry Kelly at its head, to build a tnag
-1 nifieent temple for grange uses in
| Louisville with money, not from the i
city that would be chiefly benefittod,
but from the grangers who are seat-
I tcred from Oregon to Florida, very j
! few of whom would he apt to behold
1 tho proposed edifice in all its glory.
The building of a temple pre-snp
■ poses that tho headquarters will per
! manenlly remain in Louisville. 'This!
may bo so, but it is not certain
enough, iu our opinion, to induce
grangers far and wide to contribute
towards a building that Louisville
should b'nilfl for them it's a iecora- [
pense for tho bensfiis present and fu
ture that tho headquarters of the or
der would confer.
The plan is briefly this; The 700,-
000 grangers in the Union are ex
pected to givo one dollar each to
wards the temple. In return they
! will receive a gorgeous certificate of j
stock, “which are already printed,”
constituting tho donor a member of
| “The degree of tho Golden Sheaf.” j
I As fast ns the money is collected it will
lie placed in a bank, where it will be
| allowed to remain until it amounts to i
' a thousand dollars, when it will bo in-1
vested in government bonds. The!
i same process will he repeated until
| enough money has accumulated to
purchase the land upon which to
| erect the building. Then the process
! of collecting, depositing, will again he 1
; gone through with until sufficient
funds are secured to put up the bnild
i big. _ _ |
It will be observed that Louisville
does not even propose to give a lot
for the building; ami yet the scheme
| looks to the erection of a building that
would be an ornament to the city and '
a decided addition to its attractions.
For tlie great hull in this temple is to
Ibe arrange,d not only for the confer
i ring of degrees, but for tho use of
theatrical companies. Into her wards,
the grangers are invited to build, for
■ the accommodation of Louisville, a
play bouse that shall outshine those
iof the surrounding cities. A charter
i has been procured, directors elected,
and everything prepared for the rc
j ception of the dollar capitation tax. j

Fatal Effects of Fork Eating iu futli
niia.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 17 —Dr.
Pottyjoiu, having a medical practice !
near Westfield, on tho borders of
Hamilton county, some ten mile north
! of Indianapolis, day before yesterday
i brought Dr. Fletcher, for microscopi
cal examination, a piece of pork tou
i derloin, and some portion of human
I muscle, which he believed to be infest- j
led with trincliimc. It was learned
from him that a family named Beale ;
ate freely of pork tenderloin, and!
soon after the entire family had bc-
I come affected, some furiously, and I
one, a little girl, fatally, with symp
; toms which lie afterwards attributed
to the presence of trichinae. After
the death of the little girl, he secured j
a portion of the gastricnemius mus
cle, also a portion of the tenderloin,
and the specimens were submitted to
I a close microscopical examination by
i both Doctors Fletcher and Chambers.
Iu a piece of muscle the size of a pin
: head, Doctor Fletcher found twenty
of the little vermins, of mature growth,
| and stiil showing signs of active life, j
As yet only the little girl has died,
but others of tho family arc danger
ously ill.
The Ilawkinsville Dispatch relates
i the following horrible occurrence:
A most awful catastrophe occurred
on Wednesday night of last week, in
Dooly county, near the line of Worth.
| The unfortunate victim was Elder
' Samuel Wright Story, a Primitive
i Baptist, very highly esteemed. Mr.
Story had been to mill on Swift creek,
j and was returning home late in the I
| evening. He stopped to warm him
self in front of tho house of Mr. Ste
| veils, on tho roadside, where an old
I stump of a tree had been fired and had
| burned into a hole. None of Stevens’
family went out where he was or
: paid any attention to his beiug there.
They only noticed that cart remained
there for an unusual length of time
for a person merely to warm. About
j ten o’clock at night they observed \
that his curt was still on the roadside, 1
and finally concluded to go and see if j
J anything was the matter. Qu am-I
ving at the stump hole a most horri- j
I hie sight was before them. The 1
j head and shoulders of Mr. Story’s
i body wore lying in tho hole and had I
! burned to a crisp. It seemed as if lie
! had fallen into the burning hole j
I headforemost. Whether he struck
his foot against some obstacle and
fell, or whether lie had been prostra
j ted from a fit, is unknown. In either j
case, he was unable to raise himself i
out of the hole, and death, in its most•
terrible form, put an end to bis strug- j

riie New Order ofTliiiigs.
(Special Dispatch to tho World.)
Washington, December 13— The J
new order of tilings was well illustra- j
ted to-day. Nepotism is no longer!
the rule. A son of Senator Gordon, of j
Georgia, who lmd boon tendered and }
| accepted a profitable position under
I the House, promptly resigned it be- i
cause his father had not requested
and did not approve the appointment.
It has been quite the custom among
Republican Senators to secure tip- !

A Strange Wedding Fee.
A clergyman who was formerly lo
cated iu this city, but is now iu New
York, married a little over a year ago,
a couple who at once started for Eu
rope and have recently returned. The
bridegroom was a gentlemen of wealth,
and before ho presented himself be
fore the bridal alter lie placed a SIOO
greenback in his vest pocket to give
tlie parson for tho marriage fee, and
did pay it to him as ho supposed.
While crossing the ocean liu discover
ed, greatly to his astonishment the
hill in the pocket where lie placed it,
and could only account for its pres
ence there only on the theory that he
must have had another bill of a differ
ent denomination which ho had do
nated to the clergyman by mistake.
On getting back to this country bo
determined to solvo the mystery and
waited upon the reverend gentleman,
Who did not recognize him, and in
quired if on a certain date lie did not
marry a certain couple. Tho clergy
man remembered tlie occasion perfect
ly. “I know lam about to ask an
impertinent question,” said the visi
tor, “but I should like to be informed
wliat fee you received for performing
the ceremony ?” The clergyman was
not prepared to make tlie disclosure,
naturally being astonished that liis
interviewer should ask shell a question,
but upon explanation being made that
the gentlemen himself, whom he then
recognized, was the one lie had mar
ried, lie said that he would, of course,
gratify him, since he was so anxious
to know “I received,” he then wont on
to say, “a very small quantity of fine
cut chewing tobacco, folded in a very
small piece of paper.” That was
enough; the only thing remaining to
be done was to apologize, laugh
heartily, shake hands, and make the
SIOO deposit good.
School Mmois Husbands.-—Michael
C. Kerr, tlie Speaker, was born in
Pennsylvania, on a farm, near Titus
ville, on which farm “ile” was first
struck. While a student at the Erie
Academy, he fell in love with a school
mistress, and when ho reached the
ripe age of eighteen he married her,
and soon after took Horace Greeley’s
advice, and “went West,” and became
a Hoosier by adoption. His marriage
was secret, and after having been
West two years, he returned and took
his bride to his Hoosier home. Mean
while she had fallen out of a window
and received injuries which marred
her beautiful face, but Mike didn’t
care a darn, and they have boon hap
py as a pair of turtle doves ever since.
Mr. Blaine, of Maine, tho Into .Speak
er of the House, is also a Pennsylva
nian by birth, having been born in
Washington county. He too, mar
ried a school-mistress—a Yankee, girl
—who induced liim to remove to her
Eastern home, where he lias become
a great man. It is a strange coinci
dence Unit Kerr, the husband of a
school-marm, succeeds Blaine, the
husband of another school-marm.

CARPET-BAGGER VERSUS CARPET-BAGGER.
Charleston, December 20.—The
News and Courier this morning prints
an interview with Governor Chamber
lain on the subject of the election of
ex-Govcrnor Closes and Whipper, col
ored, ns Judges of tbs most impor
tant circuits in the State. The Gov
ernor, after describing the trickery by
which the leaders in the Legislature
took advantage of his temporary ab
sence from Columbia to precipitate
the Judicial election, which resulted
in the choice of 'Whipper and Moses,
said:
T look upon their election as a hor
rible disaster—a disaster equally great
to the State, to the llepublican party,
and, greatest of all, to those commu
nities which shall be doomed to feel
the full effects of the presence of Mo
ses and Whipper upon the bench. I
did, a year ago, speak publicly of
•Whipper, who was then a candidate
for the very same position to which
he has now been elected. Then I de
nounced him as incapable and utter
ly unlit for the otliceof Judge. Of
Moses, no honest men can have differ
ent opinions. Neither Whipper nor
Moses has any qualities which ap
proach to a qualification for judicial
positions. The reputation of Moses
is covered deep with charges which
are believed bv all who are familiar
with the facts of corruption, bribery
and the utter prostitution of all his
official powers to the worst possible
purposes. This calamity is infinitely \
greater, in my judgement, than any 1
which has yet fallen on this State, or, I
might add, upon any part of the South.
Moses as Governor is endurable com
pared with Moses as Judge.”
Question —“What do you think of
Wiggins V”
Answer—“Ho is not to be classed
morally with sloses and Whipper;
but, in order to defeat Judge Mailer,
he has consented to be the tool of the
same combination which elected Mo
ses and Whipper, and, as such tool, he
will lie expected to, and doubtless will
do their work.”
l’uestiou.—“What, in your judg
ment, will be the effect of the elec
tion of these three men?”
Answer.—“ The gravest consequen
ces of all kinds will follow. One im
mediate effect will obviously be the
reorganization of the Democratic par
ty within the State, as the only means
left, in the judgment of its members,
for opposing a solid and reliable front
to this terrible crevas.- ■ of misgoveru
uient: and public debauchery. I
could have wished, as a llepublican, j
to have kept off such an issue; but I
have a profound belief in the logic of i
events and a Providence, too, that i
shapes events, and I do not allow my- j
self to think that the good and hon
est men of South Carolina will find it
impossible, because they are organiz
ed as Democrats, to give their help to
whomsoever shall bo best able to un- 1
do the levrifcla wrongs of last Th r
day. lam free to say that niv high
est ambition as Governor has been to
make the ascendency of tho Republi
can paty in South Carolina compati
ble with the attainment and mainte
nance of as high and pure a tone in
the administration of public affairs as
can bo exhibited in the proudest Dem
ocratic State of tlie South; and it was
also my fondest hope, by peaceful
agencies, herein South Carolina alone
of all tho Southern States, to have
worked out, through the Republican
party, the solution of the most diffi
cult and ono of tho most interesting
political and social problems which
this century has presented. Tf these
results shall not be reached, the re
sponsibility for tho failure will not
rest upon mo, nor upon tho Conserv
ative citizens of South Carolina, who
have hitherto, with unvarying fidelity
and generosity, stood by n e in my
work; but upon those, and all like
them, who dealt the eauso of good
government so deadly a blow on
Thursday,”
The Governor went on to snv that
there was the gravest doubts, on con
stitutional grounds, of tho validity of
tlie judicial election ns to four out of
tho eight circuits— Whippor and Mo
ses being among the doubtful cases.
The action of t,lio Legislature contin
ues to bo the subject of great popular
excitement all over the State.

THE PRESBYTERIANS.
Philadelphia, December 21.— At a
meeting of the Presbyterian Mimste- ]
rial Assembly resolutions were adopt
ed instructing the pastor of the Pres- \
byterinn Church to perpare a history
; of their churches to carry out the de
sire of the General Assembly, which

the propriety of the church taking!

The assembly lias designed tlie first
Sunday of July, 1870, as a day of

The Value of Small Farms. — Small j
farms, says an exchange, make near
! neighbors; they' make good roads;
! they make plenty of good schools and j
churches; there is more money made \
jin proportion to the labor; less lobor i
|is wanted; everywhere is kept neat;!
I less wages have tube paid for help;!
| less time is wasted; more is raised to j
i the acre; besides it is tilled better;;
there is no watching for hired help; j
| the mind is not kept in a worry, a
stew, a fret, all the time. There is I
not so much fear of a drought of wa
ter, of a frost, of small prices. There
is not so much money to be paid out
for agricultural implements. Wives I
and children have more time to read I
and improve their mind. A small
horse is soon curried—and the work
on a small farm is always pushed for-
I ward in season. Give us small'fr.rms
for comfort; aye, and give us small
! farms for profit.

Iron in the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRO^O,
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect
ed Solution of the Protoxide of
Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
easily digested and assimilated
with the blood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Nature’s Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures “a thousand ills,” simply
by Toning up,lnvigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en
( riSfted and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
\ repairing damages and tvasfe,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful s access of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver < 'om
philiil, Dropsy, Chronic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills and Fevers, Humors,
Loss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys -and
Bladder, Female Complaints,
and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a low
state of the system. Being free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects arc not fol
lowed by corresponding reac
tion, but arc permanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and new
life into all parts of the system,
and building up an Iron Con
stitution.
Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes
itate to give it a trial.
