MVKA CLARK IIAINKB.
Eighty two years ago Daniel Clark
went from Mississippi to Philadelphia, to
spend the winter. There he fell in love
with Zulime Carrier, a Frenchwoman
who was living with LuGrnnge. She left
LaUraoge, and lived with (’lark. in
1806, Myra (’lurk was born, the only
child of Daniel Clark and Zulime Carrier
Soon alter Clark sent Zulime to New
Orleans, and would never have anything
more to do with her. She came hack to
Philadelphia, and tried to onlbrco a claim
on him as his wife, hut failed. Ho
acknowledged Myra as his daughter,
however, and gave her a good education.
He utude an immense fortune in New
Orleans, trading with Indians. In 1818
he died. A will was ) reduced, dividing
his property between his mother and the
City of New Orleans. At the age ol 20
Myra married Mr. Whitney, and soon
began to contest the will. Wlrtney died,
and she married (Jen. Gaines, iho case
was tried in New Orleans, and decided
against her; taken by appeal to Washing
lon, and there decided against her. Soon
after, in 1852, Gen. Gaines died. A few
yoars after, Myra discovered a will in
which Clark acknowledged her ns his
only child, and appointed her his heir.
She sued again in New Orleans, and lost.
i(he appealed to tho United .States
supreme oourt, and gained tho ease in
1801. The court decided that Zulime
Carrier was LuGrange's mistress, but was
privately married to Daniel Clark. Tho
breaking out of the war prevented the
.enforcement of the decree, and it has
been resisted in various ways to the
present time, und probably will he as lung
as the lawyers can find any pretext. It
eho ever succeeds in enforcing her claim,
she wijl be one of the richest wouirn in
the United States.
No doubt teachers' institutes art* ex
©client tilings; but unfortunately they arc
held at a tune when the public schools ol
ibis county aro in operation. More
teachers from (bis county could take the
time to attend at any other season than
now. W’c presume this is true of most
of the ooumie* in North Georgia
Recoguiiing the Tact that most of those
who are to conduct the institutes could
not probably do so at any other tune, we
are not disposed to complain; hut wo
respectfully ask the state school com
inissioncr aud the school boards of the
various comities to confer with each
other, and try to avoid this clashing next
year. iVe are satisfied that, in this
faction, more scholars could he spared
from the farms to attend ilia public
schools in ikyembor, January, and
February, than ut any other lime.

We gladly give place to tho following
extract* from tho eloquent address of
Major John W. Daniel, delivered when
(Jon. Ice’s statue was unvailed at ]*ex
ington, V,, June 28th.
There was nought on earth (lint could
swerve Holier - E. Ice from tho path
where, to his clear comprehension, honor
and duty lay. To the statesman, Mr.
Fran is Preston Blair, who brought him
tho tender of supremo command, he
answered: “Mr. Blair. I look upon
secession as anarchy. If I owned tho
four millions of slave* in the South I
would sacrifice them all to the union;
hut how nan I draw my sword against
Virginia?"
Draw his sword against Virginia?
1’ ri*h the thought! Over all the
voices that called him l.e heard the still
small voice that ever whispers to the soul
of the spi tof its birth, and of her who
gave it suck; and over every ambitious
dream therojroso tho face of tho angel
that guards the door of home.
On the 2l)tli of April, as soon .is the
nows o r Virginia’s secession reached him.
he resigned his position in the army of
the United States and thus wrote to his
sister, who remained with bur husband
on tho Union side:
“VViili nil my devotion to the Union
and the feeling of loyalty and doty of an
American citizen, I have not bean able
to make up my mind to raise my hand
against my relatives, my children, my
home. I have therefore resigned my
commission in Ili,; army, ari l, save in
defense of my native Ktate (with the
sinoerc hope that my pour services may
never he needed), I hope I may never he
called upon to draw my sword.”
There is a rare exotic that blooms hut
once in a century, and then it fills the
light, with beauty arid the air with
fragrance. In each of tho two ocniu.ic
of Virginia’s Statehood there has sprung
from the loins of her heroic race a son
whose name and deeds will hlo on
throughout the ages. Both fought for
liberty and independence. George
Washington won against, a kingdom
wlio-c scat was three thousand utiles
away, whose soldier Imd to sail iu ships
across tho deep, ami Ini found in the
hound less area of his own land its
strongest fortifications. August, beyond
the reach of delraoli m, is tho glory of
his name. Robert Edward Dee made
fiercer ami bloodier fight against greater
mhis, ami at greater sacrifice, and lost,
against the greatest nation of modern
history, untied with steam and electricity
urn! all the appliances of modern science
—a nation which mustered its hosts at
the very threshold of hi* door. But his
lilu teaches the grandest .lesson how
manhood can rise transcendent over
udvi rsity, ami is in itself alone, under
God. pre-eminent -the grander lesson
because as sorrow and misfortune are
so iner or later the common lot, even that
of him who is to-day the conqueror, he
who bears them best is made of sternest
stuff, and is the most useful and universal,
as he is the greatest and noblest
exemplar.
And now he has vanished Irotn us f,i
ovor. And is this all that i.s left of him
—this handful ol dust beneath the marble
stone?
No! the ages answer as they rise from
tho gulfs of time wlieie lay the wrecks ol
kingdoms and estates, holding up in their
hands as their only trophies the names
of those who have wrought for man in
tho love and fear of God, audio love
uufearing for their follow men.
No! the present answer-, bending hy |
h is tomb.
No! the future answers, as the breath
of the morning funs it* radiant hroiv, and
its soul drinks in sweet inspirations Irotn
the lovely life of Dee.
No! tucthinks the very heavens answer,
as melt into their depths the words of
reverent love that voice the hearts of
men to the shining stars.
By the old English law, no person
accused of felony could he t ried unless
ho pleaded, Not Guilty, when
arraigned. Persons accused of crime
which involved forfeiture of property
sometimes refused to plead for the
purpose of preserving their property
to their children. The law was that
they should be stretched naked on
their hack, find iron lad on them, as
much as they could bear, and the
weight increased, till they pleaded or
died. In 1658 Major Strangeways
was pressed to death. The last one
subjected to this treatment was Mr.
Ilurnwater, in 1726; alter being pressed
he pleaded, was convicted and hanged.
In 1772 refusal to plead was made
equivalent to conviction.
An appeal for pardon for a man
sentenced to death, hacked by the
tears of wife and children, is hard to
resist; hut the business of the governor
is t.i see that the laws lire executed,
and justice done. In every case of
crime and punishment, some innocent
parties sutler through their relations
to the guilty ones; hut the governor
who sets aside the sentence of the law
simply through sympathy, violates his
oath of offlfe.e. In this respect Gov
McDaniel has done well, and we are
glad to see it.
Many negroes of Bibb and adjoining
counties have given up work, and are
roaming ever the country looking for
diamonds. A few days ago three from
Twiggs county went to Macon, and

I optician there gave them 25 cents for it as

We went to another picnic the other
day and had a glorious time. It was on
a lawn in n beautiful grove close hy a big
spring and a long table was spread and
we fcas.cd n bright eyes and fried
chicken and jelly cake and happy faces
and ice cream and sweet smiles and merry
laughter ami lemonade all mixed up
together and we stayed till most mid

Well say- I, I reckon tho hoys area!
heme, at work. No sir, -ays he, there
anil hardly any hoys anywhere. I’ve

there are about two girl* to one boy and
what is worse the girls are the smartest
ami have got the best education.
Well there is a reason f r everything
and a cause for every effect, hut I don't
know why there are more gills than
hoys, nod 1 wi-fi sonieh -dy would tell uie.
Some folks say it is a stL’ii of peace.
The girls are the smartest I know, tor
they have had mo-t education. Before
llu war tho hoys were put forward and
the girl- kept in t u background, feu
now the hoy* have to work and so the
girls are sent to school an I to college and
tho hoys have to I: dp pay for it. That

1 met un old friend the other day and j
says he: "J just wish you could see my !
boy. I'm fixing him up lor college and
lie is just the smartest boy in all thi
country. He is a natural orator. He
has got irilts, he ha*. Ho speaks now
like Henry Ola - . He took the modal in
declamation. 1 wish you coulf see him
on the stage. He is ju-t splendid, he is.”
1 looked ut him mournfully and -ays I,
“Its -ad. very sail. 1 never knew a
natural orator to he any a :count. I was
a natural orator and it ruined me. I’ve
never been any account. I took a pewter
medal when I wa* young and I've never
gotten over it. It was for speaking a
speech. 1 thought then that I had
whipped the battle of life and there were
no more worlds to conquer, but I've had
to fight on ever since and uiy medal
dident do me any good. 1 wish you
would guard your boy against, medals and
being a natural orator. There is but one
remedy for a natural orator and that i
<o marry rich and settle down and wait
or invitations to make speeches at
college commencements. They are tight
useful that way. Sometimes they do
right well considering. I knew a natural
orator to get elected to the legislature
and a pretty girl in the galle.y saw him
a.* It* was naturally oratoring and fell h
love with him and he married her and she
wa- rich and they ate getting along fir-1
rale and now he gets a cal! every other
day to speak at some college and he
accepts eui all and goes to none but it’*
all the same to him for he gets hi- name
in'the paper* and that’s enough. But he
i* an exception for luck an i the boy*
who are natural orators needout presume
