Ths late strikers in Chicago and Cleveland under took to say that others should not take their places. Men have a perfect right to refuse to work at an unsatisfactory price. They have no right to say that others shall not work, and if they try to compel them to stop work they should be promptly put down. If tho police are not sufficient, call out th<; military. No duty of a government is more imperative than to protect peaceable citizens against violence. ■ ■ -w. ♦ Brainerd & Co., of Joliet, Illinois, wero the lowest bidders for the stone work on the postoffice building at Peoria, Illinois, Staub & Co., of Buffalo, N.

Woof the South have never learned to live within our means, and better times will never come unt 1 we do. Good times would come in a day, failures would no longer occur, and poverty, except for the helpless, would bo banished, if we would resolve to live within our means. No man can help being prosperous if he spends less than he makes, and no man can ever get bey oud bard times until he can bring his expenses inside his income, however small that may be. — Birming ham Chronicle. One of the Chattanooga cadets thought lessly eat upon the umbrella of an qld lady from the country last Saturday. The good soul was so incensed at such treat ment of her property that she wrathfully caught the gaily caparisoned cadet by the collar, stretched him across her knees, and, in lieu of the handy slipper, brought the umbrella down upon parts unmen tionable until ths military man's bones ached.

This method of punishment has been agitated in several Northern States, for wife beaters. It showed consiierable strength even in Massachusetts, and was not without advocates in Pennsylvania. At the late meeting of the convention on prisons and charities, in Washington City, the report from Delaware, where tho whipping post is a fixed institution, was favorable to it as a prevention of small crimes, Maryland has adopted this punishment for wife-beators, and very recently a wretch was sentenced to this punishment. Wife-beating is very common among ne groes, as are potty cria cs, and the cost to the State is very large and steadily in creases. Ueorgia might adopt, then, the whip ping post with advantage to the criminal class and the public treasury. As the Legislature is about to meet, it may keep out of the mischief that hangs on idleness, by addressing itself to this subject. If the whipping-post is to bo revived, and it should be for a certain class of of fenders, the benefits of it should bo ex tended to “special correspondents,” who ' slander and insult individuals and com ’ muuities.— Macon Telegraph. ■■ l - - - —•— —— r FROM ATLANTA. 1 Bills, &o. laid before tho house: to au thorize the governor to re-lease the Wes- 1 tern A Atlantic Railroad, from the close ■ of the present lease, for not loss than s■lo,ooo a month; to require payment of ’ the full amount of insurance on property 1 destroyed by fire; to reduce exemptions of real estate to $500; to eleot a governor , for four years instead of two, and to pay him $5,000 a year; to empower justices I and notaries to hold court at their offices; ( to prevent hunting on the lands of an other with dogs and firearms without written consent of owner; to amend tho j act providing a bettor system of working . public roads; to declare all waivers of . waiantee on commercial fertilizers void; 'o exempt blind persons from poll tax; to elect county officers on the second Wednesday in December; to regulate the trade in seed cotton; to further prescribe the duties of tax collectors; to provide for an additional inspection and analysis ! of fertilizers; to require clerks of superior i courts to keep a separate docket for for feitures; to enable a widower or widow, in certain cases, to receive his or her share o f tn estate, without a guardian; to provide houses for justices’ courts; to provide two swpeiior court judges where s county has more than 40,000 inhabi tants.

Henry Ward Beecher's sermon (28th ult.) was upon the questions of de sign in creation, and of genera] and special providence, as th'ey stand related, not only to scripture tes'imony, but to what to what we now know of the course cf natural law in this world. The view of the famous German scientist Haeckel, that the world needs no God, that it has io itself provision for all the phenomena that have taken place, seemed to Mr, Beecher not to simplify the problem of creation, but to make it still more diffi cult to comprehend. ’’Nothing in human experience furn ishes a basis for believing in the origin and progress of the world of its own self, without any external influence. The be lief that back of every effect there must be a cause, has been wrought into the common sense of mankind; and Hseckel’s theory leaves the origin of matter unac counted for. Tha origin of matter, and the existence of tendencies or laws in mat ter, seem inconceivable. The same is true of the origin of the Divine Being, but confessedly this is removed from human investigation, which oan take hold only of that wh ch has some relation to the or ganization of the mind and body; God has not. But we gain nothing by exclud ing divine intelligence, and to include it smoothes the way of investigation, and is agreeable to the nature of the human mind. It is easier to conceive a persona) God, with will, power, and intelligence, than to conceive a world of such vast and varied substances as this, performing all the functions of will, power, and intelli gence. Tho doctrine of evolution seemed at first to destroy the fact of intelligent design in creation. So tho agnostic school, which includes some of the noblest spirits of our day, sprang up. ‘God may exist, but we do not know it,’ say they. But this is what tho Bible says from beginningloend. It is what philosophy is now beginning to explain. We cannot understand the di vine nature, so far exalted above anything yet developed in us, except it dawns on us when we are ourselves unfolded, and rise to such an elevation as does not be long to (he great mass of the human race. God is to be seen only by those faculties that verge on the divine itself; and by them moral intuition docs come, with a certainty as great as any that scientific investigation brings to the senses of men. The question of design in creation is being renewed in a grander way. If adaptation to special uses was an indication of divine design, how touch more is it ao evidence of design when we see such adaptations proceed from a universal plan of develop ment! Paley’s celebrated argument of design was illustiated by a man finding a watch, and inferring, from its adaptation to the purpose of keeping time, that it is the work ofan intelligent being. But sup pose .ho same man should be taken to a factory where thousands of watches are turned out by machinery every day, with out being touched by huninti liaads, ex cept to put the parta together, would he not ba still more profoundly impressed by the evidence of intelligence in the design er of machinery adapted to such work? As to special providence, no doctrine was more explicitly taughtby JesueOhrist than that of God's personal care and in spection of individuals and communities. If science should overthrow this doctrine, it would make a serious broach in our f aith, not only in the New Testament, but in tho divinity of Christ. Men say that God would not set aside natural law for the benefit of any favored person, family, or community. They say God works by laws of force, and never otherwise! This is impudence. We don’t know what God thinks, nor what lie doos. Some parts of His ways have been let down within the reach of our observation, but not all; 1 and while we have no right to affirm that lie dees, we have no right to affirm that He does not. The popular idea that nat ural laws are unchangeable, irresistible, and uncontrollable, is an illusion. Noth ing is gentler, more pliable, end more us able, than natural laws. Obey them, and thjy become your servants. Natural laws are constantly* checked, directed, made inoperative - They arc set in conflict one against another, and mads to compromise We make wind and water grind for us, and carry us. Electricity, the groat buf foon of the north on winter nights, or flashing about in storms, the pyrotechnics of the world, in its untouched state was useless and barren. Now it doctors the sick, lights our dwellings, plays poMboy, carries t,ew» in a twinkling round the world. It has become fruitful, because man has learned how to use it. By using natural laws, not abusing or violating them, men can make of them providences for the advantage and elevation, not only of themselves, but of those around Tho invention of a single machine may change the industries and the destinies of nations. Civilization itself is but a wise subjection ofnatural laws by human intel ligence and will. And if God cannot cre ate a providence by using, not violating, natural laws, then he cannot do what the meanest creatures on earth can do in some degree. He oan exert, directly or indirectly, upon the consciousness of men, that which will make them the enactors of his own decree. Some hold that God takes care of the system only, and dues not heed incidental results. But I hold I that there is another teaching in the Bi- I ble, namely, that all things shall work I together for good to them that love God. ! In other words, I believe that the laws which we have learned up to a certain point are doubtless surmounted by other I and statelier laws, which have relation, I not so much to flesh and blood, as to the mind and spirit of man: aud when men love God, and live in the attitude of the j divine nature aud will, they are bealeu . u; on there by invisible itfl-iences which are more really natural laws than any of tho lower and grosser ones that pertain to the body, and to external conditions. I find nothing in science that sets thia doctrine aside, but I find much there that corroborates it.—Atlanta Journal. ♦ «»■ Killed: near Fort Stockton, Texas, James Frazier, American, and Crespine Sosa and Pedro Bassilo, Mexicans, in a fight caused by Americans intruding into a Mexican dance; in Adams county, Ohio, Wi liam Fields, by William Miller, for asking him not to kick Jeff Davis; in Chatham county, N.

Dr. Ferran claims that the results of inoculation against cholera in Spain are that 4} times as many uninoculated os inoculated persona take the cholera, and of those who take it 12 times as many dio. A settlement which the Mexican gov ernment recently made of its debt to England is fiercely critized, particularly by Mexican students and editors. Many of these two classes have been arrested. The editors are to be tried for treason; the government will withdraw its aid from the higher schools. The Pall Mall Gazette (London) is ex posing the vices of tho nobility and aris tocracy. The government tried to pre vent the sale of the paper but failed. Some of England's best men applaud the Gazette, others denounce it. FOR THE FUN OF IT. There are many people who indulge in fishing and gunning simply for the fun of it; not stopping to ask whether or not it be right to kill a creature for sport merely. However, this may be, moral ly considered, the supposed fun of ti e thing is not unf'rcqaeutly accompanied by tho keenest feelings of remorse. A Boston boy, now an inergetic bu«iness man in a Western city, tells the follow ing story touching this matter: I was floating round in my boat in the lower harbor one bright daj - in June, when a sea gull, which on the wing is one of the most graceful of birds, but whose flesh is not used for food, came sailing over my head. “What a splendid shot 1” I said, and seizing my gun, I fired at him. He fell near the boat, not dead, but mortally wounded. As I drew him into the boat, suffering much agony, he turned his dy ing eyes upon me, as if 1 e said, “Why did you shoot me? 1 have done you no harm. I was enjoying myself floating in the air, as you on the water in your boat; why did you shoot me?” Having done what I had, it would have been merciful to end his suffering at once, but I had no mere heart for killing; and tho minute that passed before he died seemed as an hour to me. Tho remorse for that wanton shooting preyed on my spirits for days; and tho remembrance of it has most effectually cured mo of any desire to kill for the fun of it, any creature that God has made.— IbutA’a Companion. — That Dirty Dandruff. Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in every way. It soils the clothing contin ually, and is accompanied by a hardly less annoying sensation of itching. ' The scalp is diseased. There is nothing io the world so thoroughly adapted to this trouble as Parker's Hair Balsam. It cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the falling hair and restores its original soft ness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly perlumed, an elegant dressing. Very economical, as only a small occasional application keeps the hair in perfect condition. In Centre county, Penn., 24 years ago, R. M.

Decern- I ber Kith, 18S2, having never heard a word from Gilbert, she married Christian Colestock. He died December 24th, ISS4. Two weeks ago Gilbert turned up. He had learned of her marriage, but did not wish to emoarrass her. a bey mean to j remarry as soon as ber estate is settled. } LOVE IN THE WIREGRASS. There is any amount of fun in courting a young girl who has not been used to it. She swallows all the soft things a fellow says, but when it comes to popping the question, or something of that kind.jshe gets frightened more or less, and wants time to consider until there* are enough loop holes for her lover to slip out though without the least trouble, if he happens to see some one he thinks he could love a shade or two better. Young girls are timid and shy in earnest, and if a fellow is not pretty certain be has found precisely the angel he is looking for, be can manage so as to have the refusal of her for a year or more, and at the same time manage to keep his neck out of the reach of a breach of promise suit when he happens to meet some other sweet-faced angel that seems to him to be better suited to his taste. It is different with a widow. She gets rid of all her shyness at the earliest con venient opportunity, and finds out the principal things she desires to know of him before she allows him to get ac quainted. The school girl of sixteen en trusts herself to any young fellow on sixty or ninety days’ sight without|~ecuri ty, but the widow, like a thrifty whole sale house, goes out and examines the mercantile reports concerning him, and then sells to him on her own terms for cash. She has him sized up before he comes to market, and when she looks as if she were a very artless creature, and fights shy of him whenever he hap pens to set up a little close to her on the sofa, there are ten chances to one that he will never look any further, but will buckle right up to her and put the ques tion fairly and squarely, and when he has done so she is not going to tremble and blush and ask for a week or month in which to make up her mind. She will just wind her arms around his neck and look up into his face without one of Ella Wheeler’s fiery yearns, and before he has ' any time to catch his breath he will find i himself nailed to the cross with a “yes”’ that piorces him to the very soul.— , llav.kintville Neue. COARSENESS IN THE PULPIT. r —— We believo that Mr- Jones is a good man, and that he is really trying to do p good in the world. We would not say a , word that would diminish his usefulness, ( but we believe he would increase it by j curbing his coarse utterances. And fur , thermore we believe that Mr. Jones, like f the rest of us, can study with much profit a certain chapter in the Bible beginning: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am ’ become as sounding brass, or a tiokliog r cymbal ” Mr. Jones does not speak with the ’ tongues of angels, and though he must have some charity, he is lunch in need of more. If he corrects the faults we have noted, his present reputation will be suc ceeded by one much more lasting, and his ’ usefulness greatly increased. As it is at • present, we fear that many go to hear bim ’ simply from curiosity, hoping to hear something to produce laughter, and that “fools who go to scoff” Uo not often "re main to pray.” i There is an earnestness about Mr. Jones I which is to be admired, as should also be the courage with which he reproves sin and wickedness; but what shall we say of • language like the following: “You can’t : reform a state till you send good men to I the legislature. Some men come to every legislature that meets in Georgia who are i not fit to go to the chain-gang.” This ■ was in a temperance address. Mr. Jones should be temperate, not only in life, as i we have no doubt he is, but temperate in language.— Mobile Register.

I have been doctoring for about four years, and kept getting worse all the time and was ju«t giving up in despair when I got one of your books. “ The 111 * of Life. I was in bed at the time. I read and re-read your book and feit like trying your medicine. My folks thought there was no use in trying any thing more. I was too far gone, and might as weil make up my mind to die. I told them PERUN A was the medicine I need /d. and I intended to try a bottle. It proved a suc cess in breaking the chills, an 1 if it had not done one thing more, I would have been satisfied. But it has done more, and I ftfeel like another person. Everybody that sees me is surprised to see me locking to weil, as they ail thought I wagtdving with consumption,and now my own folks have as much to say for the FerUNA as I. I recommend it to everybody I see. There were two of our neighbors ia yes terday inquiring about the PERCNA. I gave the one my book to read; told her to bring it back, as I prized it very high ly. The other got the name of the Pe rcna to send to his son in Chicago. He is a telegraph operator My disease is something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingrains, though nothing compared to being so bad. There was a lump raised on my colkrr bone, and it was a long time before it looked like opening. 3 lie doctor said he would have to lance it in a few days, but I thought I would attend to that myself* bo I put a little fly blister on it and it opened; then I put a poultice on and then salve, and kept t.ie salve on all the time. It got bad and spread upon nry left shoulder, and one place under my left breast. Then there were two places on my head, one near the temple and one hack of iny ear that was j i t d-eadful. No tongue can tell what I suffered. My head felt so strange sometimes. I thought I was going crazy. Since 1 have used the PEKt’NA (I don’t use the salve any more) my sores healed up right away. And oh, what a relief it is to get around without chilling and having to suffer with my sores. I feel like letting everybody know all about it.” John Ferguson, Gallitzin, Pa., writes: “ Your PERUNA is a good medicine, and we sell lots of it.
