For a week past, says the Atlanta
Constitution, of Sunday, the people of
Georgia hare turn and tb.-ir eyes anx
iously toward Crav:f i dvillo, th.e home
of the great state 11 and patriot,
Hon. A. H. Stephens. Tii ugh for
years he has boon snl-J. ct to seasons
of indisposition, ho la i perh opa boon
at no time won seriously ill than at
pro out. in ty umnj of Ulu frloi-.dn
began to doubt his recovery, and the
news went abroad, creating grt at anx
iety throughout the State, and occa
sioning a general manifestation of the
warmest sympathy and affection. The
expressions of n ar,l and in'u rest
everywhere t ihibited for Georgia’s
illustrious son must be gratifying to
the noble sufferer. Elsewhere we
publish an interesting letter from
Craw ford ville, accurately setting forth
the present condition of Mr. Stephens,
and the pleasant circumstances of a
visit to him of the venerable Metho
dist divine, Rev. Mr. Duncan.
Legislative.
The approaching session of the
Legislature will have one important
duty to attend to. That is the elec
tion of a State Treasurer. It is one
of the most responsible positions in
the State, one in which every citizen
is interested, and every Legislator
should realize the importance of a
wise and judicious selection as well
ns feel the responsibility that rests
upon him as the representative of the
people’s interest in the selection of a
man fully qualified for the position.
Honesty is not the only essential
charistic, for a moro honest and up
right gentleman than treasurer Jones
could not be found. And accouut.ist
and ponsman is not the only qualifi
cations needed, for these he possessed
in an eminent degree. While these
qualities and qualifications av abso
lute and indiepehsiblo essentials, un
tiring vigilence, constant and un
ceasing watchfulness are equally if
not moro important. In the selection
of one to fill this high and responsi
ble position, kind:' <1 ties, personal
friendship and preferences, should be
ignored and qualities_and qualifica
tions alone looked to. Every Senator
and Representative will have a friend
or relative that 110 would be pleased
to have elected to fill th ■ position,
and wo fear that many wifi, permit
personal preferences to outwJgh per
sonal qualifications. This should not
bo the case, and in this instance wo
trust it may not be.
J. W. Renfroe, the present incum
bent, the appointteeuf Gov. Smith as
the successor of Mr. Jones, formerly
of Washington county, perhaps pos
sesses as nearly all the qualifications
ns any man in tho State. He has
been connected with Gov. Smith's ad
ministration from tho beginiug, and
if ho had proved inefficient he would
not now be the choice of his excellen
cy to fill the responsible position un
til tho office bo filled by election.
Mr. llonfroe has the confidence of the
people of Middle and Southern Geor
gia, and wo think his election would
be a matter of safety to tho State as
well as of rejoicing to many poo; '< .

Wo are now entering on anew era
of time, the future in before us, but I
bow truly it is said “We know not
what a dsv may bring forth.” Before
the close of the present year there will
be many changes -nations, kingdoms
and empires will change, the ono may
bo depressed, and the other victori
ous. Wars may iusuo, ami the pomp
of power and the boast of heraldry
may bo witnessed. There will bo
changes in our family circles, in the
social circle. Death will walk alio,ad
and his grim vissage may come very
near ns, and our hearts may bo rent,
and our tears may fall over the grave
of some loveiVone, and how solemn we
too may die, we are all mortal, pass
ing away, our life is over as a vapor
that appearoth for a very little time,
and then passes away. We, nil of us,
writer and n aduv, have a great deal
to do and but a very little time to do !
iu. llow important then that we all
be up and doing while we have the 1 ;
light, before the last dark, dark night
overtake us iu which no man can j
work either for himself or for others. !
The power of “ono man” may in j
some few departments of life be dep- j
an ; what have wo to
do; wliat may we not accomplish iu
| our individual character before the
1 close of the present year, if each one
! of us would put forth all our energies
'to accomplish good. All great deeds
l in the Church has been done by one
: , fii 1 with the Spiri
, and living in communion with his’
i God, will bo able to accompli >h far
i greati r things than the most perfect
i and extensive organizations can un-
dertakc. Such associations are im
portant and use ful; hut the doer of
the work is tho one man—the man of
faith—the man who works with a
consciousness not merely that he is
doing the work of God, but that God
rking in him. There is work for
11s all to do. And there is a special
work for each one of ns. It is not a
work for societies or alliances, but it
is a -work ft?:- individual minds and
hands. There is a work for us to do
which if we fail to do, will go undone.
Wc can not delegate our work to any
association of men however well or
dered or powerful they' may bo. They
have tlieir work to do, but they can
not do lnv work for me.
We have a crown to win, and who
can win for ns. No fellow-man can
win for me, nor no fellow man wear
j it for me. Our rigl t to an entrance iut >
the kingdom has been won for me by
; the Son of God. That was a work
| for him to do, and he has done it.
We owe our deliverance to him alone,
;to his blood. But still there remains
; for mo a race to run, a prize to se
cure.
Go then with thy might. Go ns
a believing man to work for God.
Common eras are the product of
many minds; greateras are the pro
duct of one. It is of individual men
like Luther, or John Knmc, or Wesley,
with Lost of others who in their day
left a living example of what one man
may do.
Then in this tho first of the year
eighteen hundred and seventy-six, let
us as individuals, members of the
church and members of civil, and so
cial society', men and women of one
common brother and sister-hoed,
look to our work. We should make
as much corn and cotton, and other
necessaries of life as may be needful,
but what shall wo do for the benefit
jof our friends, socially, morally', and,
| above r 11, what will we do for tlicglo-
Iry of God and the Salvation of our
fellow man.

Imagine what a sensation a lady
! would create in these times should she
make her appearance dressed in the
following costume, a description of
which is taken from “Malcom’s Anec
dotes”: A black silk petticoat, with a
rod and white calico border; cherry
colored stays, trimmed with blue and
silver; a red and dove-colored gown,
flowered with largo trees; a yellow
satin apron, elaborately trimmed; a
muslin head dress with lr.co ruffles; a
black silk scarf and a spotted silk
hood. “Such was the costume worn
by a lady in 1708.” Further on, we
read of ladies’ head drensos costing
from one to two hundred dollars. A
great deal has been said about the
extravagance of women of the present
day; but the modern belle would stand
aghast should she be naked (o pay
two hundred dollars for a bonnet;
and it is doubtful whether the expen
sive hend-gesr refeml to was any
more becoming to the wearer than
the jaunty and stylish hats worn by
yie “girls of iho period.”

The new flying machine, the inven
tion of Mr. Simmons, and intended
for use in military operations, was
subjected to a pub ii trial by the in
ventor on Chatham lines to-day, the
experimental trial boii g attended by
i a largo number of the officers of the
I'oval engineers, among whom wore
j Major V. G. Clayton, Socrotafy of the
1 lloval Engineer Committee; Captain
M. T. Sale, one of the instructors in
! field fortifications, and other heads oi
! departments counecied with the
school of military engineering. A j
number of noncommissioned officers
and men of the royal engineers had
been placed at the disposal of Mr.
Simmonds, to assist him in carrying
out the experimental trials. The ma
chine, which may bo said to consist of
the two independent parts, is nothing
more than a lingo, square-shaped,
. light canvas covering, stretched on
four slight but strong ash poles, or
j arms placed at right angles to each
| other*the covering being further at
tached to a centre pole—resenbling
nothing so much as the handle of an
i enormous uaiberella — by means of
j light galvanized wires, the entire ma
i chine being iu appearance an enor
mous square-shaped umberella, the
' largest of the two parts, or, more
properly, machines, weighing about
one hundredweight, and (lie other,
which is smaller, somewhat less. I
From the extremities of each of the}
four arms is attached a rope of eon-'
siderablc length, the four ropes being i
brought, to a point —somewhat simi
lar,in this respect, to a parachute—so
as to support a man, the machine be- j
ing intended fur rucounoitering ob
servations iu connection with an army
in the field. During the experiments
I to-day sand-bags wero employed to
represent the weight of a man. The
smallest of the two machines was first
. tried, but owing to there being little
1 wind it attained an elevation of but a
few feet only, a number of sappers of
I the Royal Engineers running away
j with the rope to which the machine
I was attached, much in the same way
as . ad { : and by c’ il Ir n v! <n ly-
I ing their kites. Alter repeated at-
* 0 1
| tempts in this way Mr Simmonds
only succc-dod in inducing the ma-
Ichine to rise up about twenty feat,
when it would imuu ditati ly fall with
| great force to the ground. After
some time spent in these fruitless ef
| forts, which occasioned much irnpa
-1 lienee among the spectators, it was J
decided, at the request of iho royal
! engineer officers present, to try to '
raise the largest of the two machines, 1
{ which had been lying during the for
mer part of the experiments in the
| centre of Chatham lines, where it was
swaying backward and forward with
i tho little wind blowing. The same
: method of raising the larger machine
j as that adopted in the previous expor
j imenls was again employed, a runn
| her of men of the royal engineers be
| iug stationed at the cud of tho rope,
' about three hundred yards away, the
machine itself belli;; he'd up to face
: the wind by several other sappers.
: At ttgiv n iugnalfrom Mr. Simmouds
j a run by the men was made, when
the machine rose to a height of about
fifty or sixty feet, and then came to
the ground, A re-adjustment of the
j four guiding-ropes and wires having
Ijocu made, a further attempt to raise
I the machine was tried; but, although
l an altitude of rather more than one
hundred feet was obtained, the living
machine obs tinately refu led to remain
in tho air, but fell with a crash io the
| ground, breaking one of its four-arm
poles, and sustaining other damage.
] The cause of the collapse of the ma
! chine was stated by Mr. Simmondsto
have been occasioned by the ballast
attached to it not being of sufficient
weight, and tho four ropes which
were connected with the ends do
scribed not being of the proper length.
After a consultation it was decided to
abandon any further ti-ialo ou the oc
casion with tlie large machine, as
j some time would be required to sub
stitute anew arm-polo for that bro
i ken, and the machine was at once
stripped of its enuvas covering. A
{ second series of attempts to raise tho
smaller of the machines was then
! made, but with little or no better in
sults than this previously achieved,
| and, after upward of two hours had
j been consumed in carrying out the
j trials, tho experiments were for the
present abandoned.
The Dil a flics Between ’Em.
There is avast difference in the
! conduct of a man and a woman in
new clothes. When a woman gets a
|ll ow suit she immediately prances
down town, and for hours v. fit walk
contentedly along a crowded thor
oughfare, receiving fresh irupnlces of
! joy every time another woman scans
j her wardrobe. But a man is so dif
j feront. Ha won’t put on bis now
j clothes for tho first ! hne until it is
dark. Then ho goes down town so
cautiously as to almost create tho im
pression that he is sneaking along.
If he sees o crowd on the corner, he
slip across the way to avoid them, and
j when he goes into his grocery, he
1 Dies to got behind as many barrels
! uful boxes as he can. All the time he
■ is trying his level best to appear as if
I the suit was six mouths old, and all
I the while realizes that ho is making
an infernal failure of it. Wo hope tho
time will come when new pants will
be so folded by tho manufacturer that
they won’t show a ridge along the
front of each leg when tho wearer
dons them.— Danbury News.
Dr. Salmon Skinner, of Brooklyn,
having sued Rev. Henrv Ward Beech
er for SSOO, for the value of a set of
false teeth for Mrs. Beecher that ' e
says were furnished six years ago and
were not paid for, tlie case has be
noticed for trial in tho January to 'in
of the Supreme Court Circuit. Mr.
i Beecher, in his answer, first denies
! that ho employed the plaintiff to do
I the work named;second, if ho didem
! ploy him he sots up the statute of limi-1
tations as a bar to recovery of the
i amount demanded.
Tcaching Children Courage.
Courage is a vital element of Chris
tian chivalry. "Without it indeed!
neither truth nor fidelity to promise
can ho hoped for. The coward is
sure to lio when truth means punish
ment, and sure to retreat from his on-,
gagements when they involve peril.
We need valiant souls that have
learned to endure and scorn pain,;
and to face danger fearlessly and
promptly when duty requires. Some {
parents evade this vital part of train-1
ing by glosses and deception. A
mother who luvd taken her boy to the j
! dentist's to get a tooth oat will often
| say, if ho is shrinking, “Hit still, my
boy; it won’t hurt you.” Now, she
j knows it will hurt him, but thinks if
j she can only get him by this device
to sit still and lot tho dentist get hold
of tho tooth, then his discovery of
the pain will not hinder its extraction,
i This is a double mistake. It destroys
her boy’s confidence in her; for he
j detects her in a lie. And though it
! gets the boy this tune to sit still, il is
j under the delusion that, there is pain
j and to scorn it. This makes tho dif
i ferenco between the cowards and the
| heroes. A regiment of poltroons
could march up to a battery as cheer
fully as a regiment of heroes if tie y
| thought there was no enemy at the
i guus. The difference is that heroes
know the danger, and vet face it
valiantly.

According to the last census Massa-'
chusolts had, iu 1870, 49,793 females ;
more than nudes. Tho Boston Advr- j
ti- rr discards many theories in regard
to this excess, such as the migration
of men to Western States, some oc
cult law governing births, etc., and
attributes il solely to the incoming of :
women from otner States to work in <
the factories, particularly from Maine
' and Vermont. This seems a Bums- ■
i what plausible theory, yet every Slate
iu New England, excepting Vermont,
i litis a large excess of females. Maine
| has the smallest, viz: 700; Now 11amp
: shire and Rhode Island about 7,000
; each, and Connecticut 6,314. Vor-
I uiont in 1870 had an excess of about
1,000 nifties. New York Stale has an
i excess of 56,301 females, and the Dis
trict of Columbia i,3ld more femah -
j than nudes. A proportionate excess
of females over males is found in al
■ most every Eastern and Middle State,
I and yet the census of 1870 shows au
c\c. ss of 328,059 males over females
|iu the aggregate population of the
i Stales and territories. This excess is
] mainly found in the "Western States
and territories, as, for install -e, in
1 California, where it reaches 138,000.
