To tk Hampton 6*Trameal.
A German gentleman of Charleston has
contributed S4OO to the Hampton govern
ment.
Look* Like I*.
It seems as if the long, doubtful election
matter is to be settled. Then the country
will quiet down and turn its attention to
business again.

Their Pay.
The laborers on the New York boulev-rds
receive eighty cents a day, and labor about
four days a week on an average.
Railroads Constructed.
Georgia constructed only forty-four miles
of railroad daring the past year. The
Northwestern, which is 40 miles; and the
Sandersville and Tennille, which is four
miles.
Ah!
Just before the Presidential election we
were told by the Grant and Hayes men
that the national debt was diminishing.
The election is over, and now every month
shows an increase. Every person is inter
ested in this matter, and should think
about it.
A Bit Lawsnlt.
The Michigan Southern Railroad Com
pany will don test suits for damages on ac
count of the Ashtabula disaster, claiming
that the breaking of the bridge was “an act
of God” for which they oannot be held
responsible. They will endeavor to prove
that the bridge was ordinarily safe, and that
cold weather weakened it. Should they be
defeated, the amount of judgments would
foot up to about half a million dollars.
Life Insurance Companies.
A resolution has been introduced into
the New York Legislature, calling for a de
tailed statement showing the amount paid
by all the New York Companies in salaries,
fees or other compensation or donation to
their respective presidents, vice* presidents,
secretaries, medical examiners, attorneys,
and other employees during 1870. This is
the kind of information needed.
Cold Weather.
The editor of the London News draws the
Ashtabula disaster pretty heavy, and thinks
that the shores of Lake Erie arc a cold
place in December. He says': Those who
ventured into the open air found them
selves in danger of instant death by the
difficulty of breathing which the change
caused; nor did one dare to touch an iron
rail in the open air unless reckless about
the skin of his lingers. Rarely do the pole?
of the telegraph lift their heads above th
piled up snow drifts
United Rates Senator.
To-day the General Assembly will enter
on the duty of electing a United States
Senator. Public opinion seems to be set
tling down upon the idea that ex-Governor
James M. Smith will be the man selected.
The verdict of the people of Georgia is that
he has made a safe, impartial and wise
Governor, and that he will prove himself
to be prudent, efficient and reliable as a
Senator. We honestly believe that the se
lection of Governor Smith by the General
Assembly will give general satisfaction.
Public Printer.
The Madison Home Journal says: “The
Legislature has elected Mr. Janies P. Har
rison, of the Franklin Printing House, to
the position of Public Printer. We are
heartily glad Jand approve of the choice.
The Franklin, as it asserts, ‘leads the van,’
and Mr. Harrison, its head, is fully compe
tent to manage its ponderous business.
The work of the State has been placed in
good hands, and will be faithfully, punc
tually, economically and tastefully execu
ted, His election by a large majority was
as flattering as deserved.”
Ex-6overner Hmlth.
From the day that tbe above named dis
tinguished gentleman took the oath of of
fice as Governor, up to the hour in which
he vacated the Executive office, lie lias
given general satisfaction to the people of
Georgia. With good, practical sense, uni
ted to firmness and sound judgment, he lias
been ably qualified and has faithfully dls
cha ged the delicate duties which devolved
upon him, and in a manner acceptable to
the people. That he may have made some
enemies growing out of his appointments,
we do not doubt, but that his administra
tion has been a popular and efficient one,
no one questions. We believe that "come
up higher,” represent Georgia in the United
States Senate, would be the verdict of the
people were they called upon to decide the
Senatorial question. With Hon. B. H. Hill,
Hon. A. H. Stephens, and other distin
guished gentleman in tin House, and Hon.
John B. Gordon and Hon. James M. Smith
in the Senate, the people of the State could
but feel a just pride in their representatives
as well as a security that ail their rights
and interests would be folly guarded and
looked after.
Centennial building Isas
success.
There were quite a number of hanisonte j
tables, courteously presided over by .harm-’
rag and very puremariw adies. '
We have not space to speak of the beau
tiful as well as osefol articles. At one of
the tables, a badge will be voted to the most
popular military officer. lieutenant Flynn,
of the Cleburne Rifles, and ii. tenant
Hunnicutt, of the Fulton Bines, are being
voted for.
There is much that is attractive at the
tables of Mrs. Flynn; among other things
is a superb doll, which will be voted to the
most popular Miss, the fascinating little
daughters, the one of Judge Pittman, and
the other of Dr. Roach, are the contestants.
And the Senatorial race is not more excit
ing.
A handsome set of jewelry is being con
tested for by Miss Polly Mortem, Miss M.
Green, and Miss A. Valentino.
On the Refreshment table, which is pro
fusely supplied with all an epicure could
ask, is a beautifol doll bride most tempt
ingly displayed, whose tastefol toilette is
from the hands of Miss Madden. Misses
Nellie Fort, Mary Wadnow and Alice Lin
ing, are the contestants for tins doll bride.
Doubtless the attendance at the hall to
night will be largely increased.

Remember that the masquerade ball

Watch Out, Colored Mon.
Many Republicans finding that colored
men are being alienated from their party,
are now debating the question whether
they were not too fast in enfranchising the
colored man, and whether they had not
better reconsider the matter.

E(gi ond Poultry.
On account of the extreme bad weathei
or some other cause, but 'ittle country pro
duce is now brought to market. Eggs and
good fat poultry are now in demand, and
are scarce. In the language of Col. Mul

existence and fills Ills cup of joy to the
brim.
When you feel disgusted because the
street cars are cold and your office chilly,
imagine yourself a farmer out watering a
drove of stock in a creek five miles from
home, with the ice twenty inches thick,
the now two feet deep, the mercury clear
down in the boots of zero, the wind blow
ing like a 1000-horse ,fanning*mUl from the
northeast, and every animal in the crowd
trying to horn you in the back because
you don’t chop holes fast enough .—Chicago

John Row* i Pa Two Wives.
[New York Sun.]
“ Is this your wife? ’’ asked Justice Mop
gan of John Rowell, a Morrisania fisher
man, in the Harlem Police Court yesterday,
as hs pointed to a modest-looking woman,
who had charged Rowell with assaulting
her. "She’s one of them, your Honor,"
replied the prisoner. "What! have you
more?" "Only one more, Jndge; and
when one don’t behave I send for the
other.” “ And you have children by both?”
“I have, Judge.” "And does your plan
work ? " " Pretty fair, Judge ; pretty fair."
He was committed for a month.

Then said the barkeeper warmly: “I beg
your pardon and apologise; I thought from
that ooH.piexiOn and that walk of y.mre
that you was going to walk the plank.”
'‘Apologies are good enough in their

“but they fall on the mind of the dead

just walk up to the druggist and apologia*

Tengk Lying.
[Detroit Free Press.]
The fact that Detroiters are long-snfl; ring
and kind-heurted was again exemplified
yesterday, tine of the dozen passengers on
a Woodward avenue oar suddenly remarked
that it was ar. awful snow-storm, and tha I
he never saw so much snow on the ground
before.
“ Pooh!” *xdaiimd a little wiflet of a
man in the comer; “ this is no storm at
all! Why. in Omaha I have seen forty
seven feet of snow on the ground at oneeT”
“ Buried tie townjdidn’t it?” queried the
mau opposite.
“'Of cour* it buffed tl%<? town, hut that
was all rigkt. W* dug out the snow and
left a crust, as sort ot sky, and in three
days we Itai summer weather down there, j
Roses bloomed, peach tress blossomed, and ■
the boys went in swimming, Urn same as in
July 1 Don't talk to tue about such storms
as this l”
"W-what became of the crust ?” gasped
a man at the front end of the oar.
“It’s hanging up there yet !', rtpli< and the
noble liar, "and the man who donbts my
word wants to step of the oar for half a
minute!"
There that whole doxen men sat as mute
as clams, act daring even to wink at each
other, or to enter a protest, while the little
man branched otf anew and began tolling
that he'had seen hailstones weighing six
pounds each.

Norwich JfoßeKw.' There is nothing like
a pleasant surprise. A Windham county

aside and pound the powder on the foam.
Just as he was about to drink it the bar
keeper leaned over the counter and Brack
his baud, spinning the gkaae over the floor
and spilling the contents.
The sallow young man and the bar keep
er looked at each other for a moment
squarely, the bar-keeper was mad. The
angered the wouM-be snidcide was tinged
With curiosity. The young man found
voice first, and he said bitterly and sarcas
tically :
“Now you are a patent bar-tender with
cheek warranted to last, ain’t you?”
The bar-keeper replied firmly and mod
♦nfrely, “You don’t give this house no such ;
game as that, young man. You don’t guz
zle no arsenic under this humble rood’'
“Arsenic, the devil? ”
“Well, what was you swallowing of it
