Tie oontrofßr of the ourrency has just

The night of Tuesday the 23d ult., was

A western exchange tells its readers
how “te mind their Pa" in the ibllowing
paragraph i
“Persons who patronise papers should
pay promptly, for the pecuniar; pros
pects of the press have a poculiar power
in pushing forward public prosperity. If
tho printer is paid promptly and his pock
et-book keptiplethorio by prompt-paying
patrons, he puts his pen to his paper in
peace, his paragraphs arc more pointed,
he paints bis pictures ot passing events
in more pleasing colors, and tho perusal of
his paper is a pleasure to tho people.
Paste this piece of proverbial philosophy
in some place where all persons can per

: During the fisoal year of 1877 thore

Virginias, $323,572;iu Maryland, $63875,
and in tho Diatriot of Columbia, $69,9t>9.
Ia the territories, leaving out Alaska, the

over $1,000,000. Iu Alask athe total re
ceipts wore only $378, and the total ex
penditures $227, leaving a balance of re

A tender miss iu New Jorse'’, only forty
year* old, is suing her second cousin,
eighty year* old, for broach of promise,
and claims #20,004 damages. She claims
that ho asked her three times to marry
him. Twice she refused, but the third
time she consented. He engaged a min
ister to perform tho ceremony, but
changed his mind befere the day oauie.
He denied under oath that he had ever
asked her to marry him. After the death
of her mother he invited her to make his
house her home, and he say* that jhe was
after him osntinually from that time till
she packed him off to get the minister.
After the engagement she went to live
with another relative, and it was proved
that he want there frequently. When
asked his reason for this, he said he went
there to do chorea; but he admitted that
he neither went there before she went,
nor after she left.
.tvHOE LEONARD.
Soir.o'.in.e ago, Judge Leonard, mem
ber of Congress from Louisiana, went to
Cuba. A statement was published at the
time that the government had been in
formed that negroes were kidnaped in
Florida and perhaps in some other Gulf
States, and sold as slaves in Cuba, and t hat
he had gone, by request, to investigate tho
matter. It waa afterwards stated that he
went to visit a young lady of Cuba, to
whom be had beoome attached, whose
parents objected to the match, and had
taken her back te Cuba to prevent any
further communication. While he was
preparing te return home, he sickened
and died. An account was published that
the Captain General furnished him every
facility for investigating the alleged kid
naping. It was also stated that the last
letter which he wrote beforo his death
was very despondont, and intimated that
he had not been ablo to see tho young
lady except in the presence of her parents,
who still opposed the match. Yellow
fever was said to be the cause of his
death.
His body was sent to Philadelphia.
(He had removed from Pennsylvania to
Louisiana.) Two eminent physicians ex
amined it there, and said that he did not
die of yellow fever. It is now intimated
that he was poisoned by parties interested
in the kidniping.
A mooting of the Democratic Excsu
tive Committee of the Seventh Congres

The commander of the Kng’ish fleet in
the Sea of Marmora is on his guard
against Russian torpedoes.
The proposition that the Russians and
English shoald simultaneously withdraw
from tho neighborhood of Constantinople,
was accepted by both parties, but they
diangreo on the point how far each shall
go. The English propose to return to
Bnsika Bay, and think the Russians
should withdraw to Adrianople, (about a
hundred and forty miles,) while the Rus
sians claim that a day's march will bo far
enough. Both parties are afraid that if
they withdraw, tho Turks may fortify
against them. They will probably require
assurances that this shall hot be done
Two foraubnve been proposed in which
invitations to the Congress shall bo sent
out. According to one, the powers would
bo invited to moot to consider tho changes
to be introduced into the treaties of 1850
and 1871, in viow of recent events: the
other would invite them to consider these
two treaties in connection with the treaty
of San Stefano. %
The English papors think there is lees
reason now than formerly to count on help
from Austria. They think that she will
be glad if Russia and England go to war,
but will take no part iu it, and after they
have exhausted their strength, sho will
help herself to such parts of Turkey as
she may like bust.
Russian engineers have left Rome for
the Suez Canal and tho Persian GuP:
perhaps for tho purpose of exploring a
route by which Russia may send armies
to India to strike a blow at British au
thorities there.
Fifteen ships and twelve steamers have
been chartered to bring troops from India.
They are dostinod for Malta, but orders
changing this can very easily be com
municated to thorn as they pass through
tho Suez Canal.

BCNOAV SCHOOL CONVENTION.
The International Sunday Sohooi Con
vention which assembled in Atlanta on
the 17th nit, must have been very in
teresting. The members wore welcomed
to tho oity by Mayor Angier, from whose
address we quote the ibllowing lines:
“And may wo all so live as to ‘road our
titles clear,' when the time comes to
separate time from eternity, and we enter
on that journey wrhioh to the pure in
heart- knows no fatigue, no sorrow, no
end, but continues onward and upward to
that celestial light and streams of God’s
pleasure, radiating and flowing from tho
throne of the Eternal.”
lie then introduced Governor Colquitt,
from whoso eloquent address of welcome
we are impelled te give tho following
extract;
“To-day with the worldly minded and
worldly wise, the great question is, who
is to hold tho keys to two narrow channels
of water, and who shall be made respon
sible for the government of a few desolated
and blood-soaked patches of earth in the
Bslkau peninsula. How paltry, how in
significant does all this exaggerated cou
oern appear, by the side of the infinite
and eternal interests upon which your
congress is to take counsel."
Rev. John Potts, D. D., of Toronto,
Canada, first responded to the wet
earning addressee The following lino^
from his speech strike us as worthy to b
re-printed, beoause they admit what many
men are disposed to deny:
‘‘We come from a country ruled by a
woman. You are more rulod by woman
than you are aware. All successful men
arc largely under the influence of good
women, 'i be husband gently persuaded
by his wife; the son lovingly guided by bis
mother, and the brother restrained and
moulded by the gentle power of a pure
and affectionate sister shall not go far
astray in anything, and shall certainly
never go astray socially and morally.”
The convention wound up with a jubilee
on Saturday, tbe 20th ult.

A young man war nently tned in the
Superior court of fatnall county, for

he left his wife and married another

that the first marriage was no marriage,
as ho had not procured license, and the
ceremony was pertimnfd outside of the
jurisdiction of the justice of the peace who
married them. Ail parties worn at least
tipsy.
Tho Now York Sun devotes about half a
column to Alexander Hamilton Stephens,
suggesting at the outset that he would
more appropriately have been called
Aaron Burr dtephens. It represents
Mr. Stephens as having been very much
overestimated, principally because Horace
Greely, while a member of Congress,
"for some reason or other, took a groat
fancy to him.” “He was a blatant
Union man,” but bis love of the Union
was not strong enough to prevent him
from “going to sleep on it at night, and
waking up in the morning Vice-President
of the Confederacy.” “What signally
failed when attempted by force of arms,
ho now seeks to aooomplisli by duplicity
and fraud. ” Such assaults as this cannot
injure Mr. Stephens in Georgia, whore
the peoplo delight to honor him, nor do
wo think they can diminish his influence
at Washington City.
SOME SPRING POETRY.
List, Oh listen to the voice of spring.
Ah she nlng on the hills' I’ve come hack agin,
With violets ami roses I perfume tho air,
Aad bring iu my arms the children of Molly Hare.
1 warble my notea from the dulcet throat,
Of the chaste and rent lo tmnnio goat.
I play on the key of the musical frog
And help the lurtlo to elide from tho slip'ry log.
I cause Cuffee to reasou with the virtuous mule,
And send his bowlegged children barefoot to tho
primary school.
I bring joy and bl easings in my train.
And dampen the Sunday school picnic with un
timely rain,
I cause the tomtit to build her nest.
Whore the little tomtits will be safe at rest,
Prom the blacksnake's hungry jaw
And the early researches of the vain jackdaw.
I bring joy and gladness to tbe young girl's heart
As her feller f ells her she is sweeter than a
gooaebwrry tart.
I perfume the breath of the maiden meek,
With onions and ahallots and tho tmulcr lock.
1 cause the butterfly to soar in the morning air,
And tho milkmaid to ponder the evening star.
I cause tho bersshire to hnnt the cooling mud,
And tho festive musquito to thirst for blood.
I cause tho moccasin to howl for the landiug,
As tho small boy with arms expanding,
Hurls a rock at his devoted head
Ers bo sinks into his watery bed.
I send forth the industrious little beee,
To collect their stores from flowers and trees.
I cause the toad frog to get up and slide,
As the copper-head after him doth glide.
I make the cow-bell to jingle on the hill.
And tho gobbler to .trend and strut his ill!.
1 fill tho imidoat withaileiu grief.
Ashe bites at an earthworm and hurts Uia teeth.
I make tho grubworm rue th day.
That the schoolboy ever gets a holiday,
and wish inbia heart tho eronkod bock
Might forever bung U th> tangled
Of tho tail beach tre*s tha* !. the shore
Where the wat* rs are reun ng !'. v evermore.
Oh, 1 sing and re Unco when the locus trees
Fill, with odor, the evening breeze,
Andwhen the gnat anlthe fly by the hand of fate,
Walks with tangled feet iu your sorghum plate,
Then l clap my han-ls aid shout with glee.
While 1 watch the little dog wrestle with the floa.
Oh, I am a rare old girl, yo.i may just bot
Your last dollar on that, but when I get in a pet,
I sometimes frostbite tlia beans and wheat.
And then you say I am a Hay vs and cheat.
I can’t, stay long, but in the coming years,
l will visit you again with smiles and tears.
And the burden of my song will over be
Not to fool about the business end of a bumble
bee. —Pusorim.
