The Sage 0? Liberty Hall. 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.

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; '< .

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.” Fh ing 'liic'ilnes. [Cli itliaiu CVi'i -p-iiiii 'ice (ills’. Is) Isa*- ,1m News.] 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. * Vi'hy f 'hc Should Cos Wi st 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.

Tho writer, assum ing that a screw was loose somewhere, requested Mr. Jewell to make search among the dead letters, with tho view to get a clue as to how the fail ure to reach those addressed occured. At the same time the writer furnished : tho Postmaster General with a list of two hundred names, which included thoso to whom tho missing letters i were said to have been directed. A careful search was made, and, strange to say, not one of tho names given was found superscribed on any dead letter.
