There is great anxiety at Vicksburg for fear that the recent Congressional appropriation of $75,000 fnr the im provement of the harbor at that point is not going to he expended as judicious ly as expected. The citizens arc mov tag in the matter, because at this stage of water good work can be accomplished. The German society organized at New Orleans for the purpose of promoting the interests of German emigration to the South is meeting with flattering success. It is stated that a large num ber of Germans are now on their way from Europe to points in the South. Now this does begin to look like busi ness. One of the Cotton Exposition’s at tractions will be an “ ensilage cattlery” in full operation. The pits are being dug, and the multitude of horses, sheep, hogs, cows and mules will be fed in the ensilage during the exhibition. The main object of the system is to save la bor and time. The Georgia Legislature has passed a b ill making a complete change in the management of the State penitentiary. By it the office of Principal Keeper or Warden is abolished, and a board of three Commissioners elected, clothed with unlimited power to control the operation of affairs. This power was formerly in the hands of the Governor. The thirty-eight States of the Union contain 2,299 counties. Texas leads off, having 151 counties, followed closely by Georgia’s 137.

Asa rule, the Southern States have more counties than the Northern States. The Charleston Courier comes to the defense of the Southern girls who are charged with being unwilling to work. It says that “it is only necessary to look at Columbus or Augusta in Georgia, or at Greenville or Spartanburg in this State, or wherever manufacturers are established in the South, to prove the falsity of this charge.

The Whitehall Timed thinks that mon should furnish wives with politics and that women should furnish husbands with religion.

GA fWPTpMn E R i, 1881. Two follows started, a few weeks ago, •in tho little dory City of Bath, from ' Bath, Me., for England, mid have reached their destination. A dory is “ a canoe, or small boat.” Tho journey was a perilous one. The reckless fellows would have perished during the trip had they not been freshly supplied with provisions by a passing steamer. Mr. Morton, United States Minister at Paris, has been informed by the Pre fect of the. Sieno, that the name of Place do Bitche, where his official residence is situated, has been changed to Place des Etnta Unis. This is considered a compliment to Mr. Morton and the United ■States. We most heartily conJ cede that t.h<-i«> is a decitiod improve ment also in the’souiid. Although dancing masters are known ns professors at many of the watering places, and are boarded free of charge, their calling is going into decline with gentlemen. At all the watering places gentlemen who dance are gradually be coming fewer, and tho ladies aro com pelled to take partners of their own sex or await the opportunity to dance with a gentleman, which, however, does not always present itself. The Arizona Citizen, referring to the fact that “Billy tho Kid,” tho notorious desperado, was a native of Now York, says that tlio desperadoes who commit their depredations in the West over which Eastern people express sucili hor ror, aro mostly Eastern graduates. Very few of them aro natives of the West. This is a fact tint but few people consider when they talk about the need of Chris tian influences in the West. Outlaws go there to get out of the reach of tho bias and church. ♦ Mrs. Annie Bbhant, Charles Brad laugh’s friend, and oopublisher of that book “ Tho Fruits of Philosophy,” of which they had such a wide sale, and the publication of whioh gave them so much trouble in the Courts of England, has passed in the first class at tho pre liminary examination for tlie degree of B. Sc. in the University of London, her tutor being Dr. A. E. Aveling. Mrs. Biscuit has id.- > passed in the advance classes in seven subjects at South Ken sington. - ♦ Austrian Dogs. In Austria, while tho large dogs are made to work, and make themselves use ful in various ways, tho little fellows aro taken to the bosoms cf the ladies, and treated as if they were veritable angels. It is not uncommon, when traveling, to see almost every lady with a dog in her arms, and occasionally a footman or maid, whose sole duty in traveling with the mistress is to take oare of the dog, and see that he has water and food on the route. r l3ie doctors tell many amusing anec dotes of having been called up at mid night and finding that their services were needed for a poodle that had been over fed in tho effort to kill them with kind ness. They could make heavier charges, with the assurance of prompt payment, in such cases, than if the patient had been a child or a husband. “ Love me, love my dog,” seems to be the sentiment <rf these ladies; and on one occasion the writer saw a finely-dressed lady, who had her dog in her arms, take off her gloves while standing in a railway sta tion, and diligently jmrsuo and kill a flea which she had discovered depredat ing among the fleece of her favorite. It is quite common to see them led tender ly along with ribbons, and in some oases to see a gold chain attached to a lady's belt, and at the other end of the chain a poodle dog traveling by her side or re posing in her arms. Signs in the shop windows tell yon that “Dog soap is sold here,” and that various patent compounds that will in duce canine health and longevity are on sale. A lady walking in any of the pub lic gronnds with a dog is sure to be ac costed by a number of seedy-looking in dividuals, who will draw out of their pockets pups, which they offer for sale. The offering for sale of anything in the public grounds being prohibited, they thus keep them concealed in their pock ets. In the upper grades of life a moth er trusts her children to servants and governesses, but her poodle dog she keeps under her own eye; and a scream from the nursery might pass unheeded, but a yelp from the drawing-room or the boudoir would startle “her Ladyship” from the soundest sleep. Os course there are exceptional eases, but it in cludes most of those who aspire to fash ionable life. We see dogs caressed much more than children are, and their comfort studied with jealous care. School Children’s Headaches. Dr. A. Jacobi, of New York, in a paper on “Neuralgia in Infancy and Child hood, ” read before the Kings County Medical Society, said of the hard worked school children nowadays, their long confinement in school-rooms and at home, the consecutive disorders of the circulation, the insufficient oxygenation of the blood because of lack of exercise, the digestive disorders resulting from their sedentary life, are just as many causes of impoverishment of the blood and insufficient nutrition and stimulation of the nervous system. In all these cases headaches are very frequent. Prevention Better T<■ > tire. . ®- Janow.i'.-1.

If a child Jnble to ttut the greatest cure should be token from the earliest luluiicy —first to develop the body. As ho grew older ho should be trained to avoid wurrjt and anxiety. Action was desirable for such a person rather than undue reflec tion. All mental shocks should be avoid ed. It was bad for him to be wrapped up in one idea, such as tho acquisition ot money or power. Ho should choose a congenial pursuit and by no means be forced by his parents into a distasteful one. There were good reasons why he should not marry, but, if he did, ho should carefully choose a congenial wife. The lecturer then spoke at great length on tho necessity for pure air, water and milk, giving several instances of the deleterious effects of bud air, among others that of the passengers on the ship Londonderry iu 1848, 150 of whom were shut up by the Captain dur ing a storm, iu the steerage, an apart ment 18x12x7 feet. Seventy of them died iu an incredibly-short time, having convulsions and bleeding at the eyes and ears. Speaking of the danger of im proper air in dwelling-houses, the lect urer described a house ho hail examined in which he fouud the cold-aii box of tho furnace connecting directly with tho sewer. In another house he know of three cases of malaria where the tenant, examining a drain that the owner had guaranteed to be all right, found a cess pool under the house. He had also known people to put their garbage bar rels under the cold-air box of the fur nace. People should examine the plumbing in their houses for themselves and not be satisfied when a plumber said it was right. Whenever it was possible, a tenant, builder or purchaser of a house should insist that the plumb ing work be all iu sight and not buried ii walls. If people would all insist upon it houses would soon be built so. But if the plumbing is in tho walls tho peppermint test should be applied. A considerable quantity of the essence of peppermint shpuld lie poured mto’tho highest trap in tlio house, and if there was a break anywhere tho peppermint odor would betray it. Bad odors in a house were Jiko the rattles of a rattle snake. They meant bad plumbing and danger. He then spoke earnestly in regard to vaccination, saying that 100 years ago ten deaths in every 100 were caused by small-pox. Now, by vaccination and isolation, tho prevalence of tho disease was checked. By being vaccinated iu infancy and once in fifteen or twenty years afterward a person was compara tively safe ; but, by being vaccinated about once in seven years he was as safe as he could bo. He then concluded with a few directions iu regard to disin fecting and nursing in cases of infec tious diseases. — New York Herald. Benevolence to Animals. Almost all boys are fond of dogs, and yet nearly all will persecute cats, rob bird’s nests and pelt frogs. There are exceptional boys who delight in cruelty, and they frequently grow up with their evil propensities strengthened by ago and exercise. There are also men of brutal disposition who have acquired their ruffianism after passing through the juvenile stages of their existence, and they are at once the plagues and the puzzles of society, defying its punish ments and resisting its benevolent en | deavors. Cruelty to animals is partly the work of brutal natures, and partly perpetrated by well-meaning people, under the in fluence of bad habits; and if we could estimate the total quantity of cruel in fliction imposed upon birds, beasts, rep tiles and fish, be should probably find that by far the larger proportion resulted from the ill-regulated action of good and even benevolent persons. Much of ill treatment of animals comes out of the ordinary proceedings of trade. It has been the custom to bleed calves, to cram sheep and poultry into the smallest possible apparatus of transport, to drive cattle for long distances without permit ting them to drink and to slaughter them without sufficient avoidance of pain. Each little circle in which these malpractices occur forms its own theory of cruelty and benevolence, and laughs scornfully at outsiders who object to its ways. The fox-hunter thinks a man a fool who reminds him of the unbenevo lent character of his sport, and the fine ladies who flock to aristocratic pigeon matches have no more compunction at witnessing the suffering of the poor birds than tho Spaniards have for tho gored horses and tortured bulls in their disgusting national recreation. It may be affirmed that the cruelty of custom or indifference does not lead to the de moralization which inevitably results from a deliberate choice of action that inflicts unnecessary pain, and yet all familiarity with needless rind useless suffering must tend to damage charac ter, unless it excites strenuous resistance to the evil and efforts tor its cure, Incident of Lincoln’s Marder. “ Those are not cheerful-looking things, are they?” said Counselor M. A. McDonald, as he sauntered into tho of fice of the United States Marshal, and j pointed to a pair of handcuffs which were lying upon the table. “Not especially enlivening,” replied a deputy, picking up the rogue’s bracelets and examining them thought fully. “There was a time when I though;, t hey were the most cheerless and terrible things in the world. ” Tlio deputy looked up in surprise. j “ Yes,” continued Mr. McDonald, “ I bud them both on my hands and feet at once for a number of hours. I assure i you they aro not pleasant.-thinga to wear.” “Were they put on to kdep you n 1 jw-’sim.w ?’’ queried the deputy, wo id er- , ing if his friend could, have' done any- | ’thing criminal.” “ You would have thought so had you j been in my place. I was arrested by f officers who thought I was J. Wilkes Booth.” “NoI” ejaculated the deputy, more ■ as an expression of surprise than an in- ’ tentional reflection upon the veracity of Mr. McDonald. “It camo about in this way,” began ' the lawyer, whose dark hair and eyes,even now that sixteen years have passed, bear u striking resemblance to the assassin of Lincoln: “ Lincoln had been murdered but a few days, and tho entire country, plunged in grief, was wild with desire for revenge upon the murderer. My home | was in Titusville, Pa,, and I was on the j way to it from Washington, where my | father was then a Government con- I tractor. The route was byway of Erie. The train had left Erie and gone perhaps a dozen miles, when a couple of officers surprised me by put- | ting me under arrest ami clapping hand cuffs on my feet. In vain 1 protested. They would not believe that I was not Wilkes Booth. To add to the unpleas- I outness of the thing, and a fact which also gave color to the belief that I was the President’s assassin, it was well known that Booth had interests in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, and had been there a number of t imes. The men who arrested me did so upon the strength of my great resemblance to a picture of Booth which they had in their possession. When it became known on the train that the assassin of Lincoln had ' been arrested and was on that very train, the excitement was intense. The officers who were guarding me had all they could do to prevent the infuriated passengers from doing me bodily harm. It had been telegraphed along the line of the road that Lincoln’s murderer was under arrest, and would pass through on his way to Titusville. At every station the train was met by infuriated men who climbed upon woodpiles to get a glimpse of me, and many times on that journey 1 feared that the mob would get posses sion of me. When the train reached Curry there was a man boarded the train who knew me. But tho officers would not listen to him, and it was not until ; Titusville was reached,where every man, | woman and child knew me, that the handcuffs and manacles were removed from my wrists and ankles, and I was allowed my liberty. I have the photo graph which furnished tho clew to the | officers who arrested me in my posses sion now.”— Denver Tribune. Some Fam|liar Sayings. Shakspeare gives us more pithy say- j ings than any other author. From him wo cull, “Count their chickens ere they are hatched.” “Make assurance doubly sure.” “Look before you leap.” “ Christmas comes but once a year.” Washington Irving gives us “ The Al mighty Dollar.” Thomas Norton quer ied long ago, “What will Mrs. Grundy say?’’while Goldsmith answers, “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no fibs. ” Thomas Tasser, a writer of the sixteenth century, gives us, “ It’s an ill wind that turns no good,” “ Better late than nev er,” “Look ere thou leap,” and “The stone that is rolling will gather no moss.” “All cry and no wool ” is found in But ler’s “Huilibras.” Dryden says: “None but tho brave deservo tho fair,” “ Men are but children of the larger growth,” “ Through thick and thin.” “Os two evils I have chosen the least,” and “The end must justify the means,” are from Mathew Prior. We are indebted to Col ley Cibber for the agreeable intelligence that “ Richard is himself again,” Cow per tells us that “Varietyis the spice of life.” To Milton we owe “The Para dise of Fools.” From Bacon comes “ Knowledge is power,” and Thomas Southerns reminds us th it “ Pity’s akin to love.” Dean Swift thought that “Breadis the staff of life.” Campbell found that “ Coming events cast their shadows before,” and “’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.” “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” is from Keats. Franklin said “ God helps those who help themselves,” acd Lawrence Sterne comforts us with the thought that “ God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.” So far from persistence being an as sociate of weakness and inferiority, it is itself a power which underlies and up holds all others, and without which they could never develop into value or effi ciency. The feeble, inefficient, inferior man is he who, whatever may be his ■ latent abilities, lacks the force necessary to make the most of them. It is a remarkable fact that the centre i of population of the United States has advanced in a straight line since 1790, due west from Baltimore. Good nature extracts sweetness from i everything with which it comes in con ! tact, as the bee extracts honey from every flower which it visits. ]\ Gteofgfi&iu RATES OF ADVERTISING.

Even a duel has been prevented by some amusing answer which turned wrath into mirth. A man holding both his sides can’t hold a pistol. A Georgia Judge named White, who wore a cork leg, once challenged a brother of the bench, Dooly by name, and a wag, to mortal combat. At the appointed hour both appeared on the field, but Dooly was alone. White sent his friend to ask where his an tagonist’s second was. “Gone into the woodsy’ replied the humorous Dooly, “to get a bit of a hollow tree to put one of my legs in, that we may be even.” The answer was too much for Judge White; he laughed and so did his sedond, and the challenge was with drawn. An Irsh lawyer, who had never fired a pistol, was challenged Try a famous duelist whom he had offended by severe comments upon his testimony iu court. The duelist, having been crippled in one of his duels, came limping upon the ground. He had one favor to ask, permission to lean against a mile-stone, as he was unable to stand without sup port. Tho request was granted, and, just as the word “Fire!” was about to be given, the lawyer said ho also hod a request to make. He asked the privi lege of leaning against the next mile stone. A hearty roar of laughter from seconds and challenger dissijiated all thoughts of a duel. The great orator of the Revolution, Patrick Henry, once received the follow ing note, preliminary to a challenge from Gov. Giles, of Virginia: “Sir: I understand you have called mo a ‘bob-tail’ politician. I wish to know if it be true ; and, if true, youi meaning.” Mr. Henry replied in this style : “ Sir : I do not recollect having called yon a ‘ bob-tail ’ politician at any time, but I think it probable I have. Not recollecting the time or occasion, I can’t say what I did mean, but, if you . will tell me what you tliink I meant, I will say whether you are correct or not.” Os course there was no duel. — Youth’» Comvanion. A Mlnlntcrlnl Ktakmrnt Bov. C. A. Harvey, D. D., i« tho popular fi nancial secretary of Howard Univeraity, and is specially titled to judyeof merit and demerit. In a roeent letter from Washington to a friend he Haiti: “I have for two yearn past been ac quainted with the remedy known as Warner’s Safe Kidney anil Liver Cine, anil with its re markable curative offleioncy in obstinate and co-oalled incurable cases of Bright’s disease in this city. In some of these cases, which seemed to be in tho last stages, and which had been given up by practicioncrs of both schools, the speedy change wrought by this remedy seemed but little less than miriioiilous. lam convinced that for Bright’s Disease in all its stages, in ebvlhig tlio first symptoms, which seem so slight, but are so dangerous, no remedy here tofore discovered can bo held for one moment in comparison with this.” Some wag in Chicago mailed letters to a score of business men, telling them to look out for a man who would visit their houses that evening to see their wives, and twenty business men surprised their wives by coming home two hours ahead of time. They nil begged pardon for the intrusion, and promised never to do so again. Tho apology was accepted and placed on tile. If you want to enjoy a cool, shady, breezy, cosy, sociable, delightful sum mer rest, go to Bailey Springs, Ala. They have a perfect crowd of the nicest sort of people there, and are enjoying themselves hugely. The water was never better, the music is delightful, the fare is unexceptionable, the attendance first class, and indeed we may truthfully say that Bailey is booming. It is a good thing for both guests and proprietors that the public lias decided the conun drum, “where can I get the most benefit and pleasure at the least expense and trouble,” in favor of Bailey Springs. Cases of dropsy, scrofula, dvspepsia, de bility and disease of the kidneys, blad der and skin, that have defied the doc tors and resisted all other medical springs, are. getting well there every week so easily and quickly that the in valids almost come to the conclusion that there never was much the matter with them. If you are so unfortunate as to be interested in such matters, drop a postal card to Ellis & Co., and ask for a circular. Then write to the parties whose names are signed to the certifi cate, and if there is any humbug about it, you’ll soon find it out. Lamentations. ' Life is a strange mass of contradic tions. When you expect least enjoyment you obtain tho most; where you think you have given most satisfaction, you i have given least. When you are sick, YOU would be well; when well you try to be sick. When you fancy yourself the wisest of men, you aro the dadoist of i fools. The girl you are most in love with is least in love with you. What you can not get yon would obtain; what you have you do not value. Wicked for Clergymen. Rev. , Washington, D. C., wiites : ‘‘l believe it to be all wrong and even wicked foi clergymen or ther public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or 1 vile stufb called medicines, but when a i really meritorious article made of valuable remedies known to a l, that all physicians i use and trust in daily, we should freely I commend it. I therefore cheerfully and 1 heartily commend Hop Bitters for the cood i they have done me and my f lends, firmly i believing they have uo equal for family use. 1 will not be without them.”—New York Baptist Weekly.
