With this issue my connection with tho North Georgian ceases.

It is a source of gratification that my efforts n thin department of labor bave been appreciated. 1 leave the paper with a subscription nearly double that which it had at tho time I look charge of it. My relations with the proprietors ot the paper have been of the most friendly character, and we separate with the most perfect good will. 1 wish for them the utmost success, llnuucially and otherwise.

In separating with Dr. Breaker, it affords us pleasure lo bear testimony to bis high moral and Christian char acter.

COTTON SEEDOIL Those who have never used this article as a substitute for the grecse of swine,have little idearwhilt an im provement it makes in culinary affairs. Wedo not mean, of course, the unclean and unsavory oil as it comes from the huge press at the oil mill, but the nice, pure, delicate article which the refine ry furnishes. Its superiority over lard in the mat ter of sweetness and cleanness. can not be questioned. The refined oil is absolutely clean,and so pure is it that now, as we have heretofore staled, it is extensively sold and used as pure olive oil. It is quite the equal of that Innious oil—no epicure, however deli cate his palate, being able to detect the difference. For trying fish, and indeed for fry ngs of ail sort, it is unequaled. A gentleman of Florida, whose table is rarely w ithout fish, long since substi tuted it for lard, and declares that it leaves the genuine flavor of the fish ■nlirely untouched. A lady of lira city, whose table i mted for its delica'e dishes, says that for all frying purposes, it leaves lard clear out of sight. What is more, the suin' oil that has already fried a fish, if set aside, may be again used tor lie same purpose. Os course, it would have the “smell” offish and could not be used for anything else. A gentleman of Montgomery man aged to smuggle a small quantity into his kitchen, and counselled fits cook on the sly how to use it. When the biscuits and batter-cakes, which had never know the smell of hog’s grease, came to the table the next morning, they were discussed and decreed to be first-class by all the female mem ber, before the “ lord” dared to make known how it was that cotton seed oil and not lard had entered into their composition. It was hard to believe his revelations, bnt there was no going buck on the joke, confirmed as it was by the cook' In fact, the the testimony of all who have tried ft, pronounce it equal to the very best article of lard. Aud it is said that our Hebrew friends use it now extensively as a substituterfor goose grease. And what is of particular interest, it is said that this pure, delicate vege table extract costs only about half as much as the extract of pork.—Chris tian Index. Something Real Nice.

Il is evident that Mr. jp-ifer has a stormy voyage before him; he lacks parliamenlry Knowledge and experience, to say nothing of natural qualification for the place. But little business has been trans acted, in either the. Senate or the House, this first week. The House adjourned from Tuesday until Friday, mid, althounh the Senate has been in session, little has been accomplished besides the introduction of sundry bills. The House is still in the throes of organization, and will not be ready for work before the I4ih iust. By that time, the committees will be forrtied, and, maybe, the new cabinet appointed. There is a prevalent opinion, in po litical circles here, that ibis will be. a session in which politics will take a back seat, aud in which bus’m ss will come to til l Hunt. This idea has re ceived siiecgih lion: the installation address ol lhe new Bpeaki r, ami Iron, the Meswige of im I'resideiit. 11 I lie House commit" shall be termed with a view to th,- h aisiative policy ouctiued m tin iiddre-s ot the Bpeaker, this will no donut be a busy session.

Hie subjects ol revenue, taxation, itaritl, and coimliiig the electoral vote will, tioubiless, occupy Ihe attention of Congress, but the couthvt ot inter est and opinion on these subjects is so great, that it is doubtful ii any bills can be passed materially changing the preset.t status.

A GOOD MOVE. Luts to Become a Dry Town. For years past the rows, disturban ces and inches at Lula and Bel lion, and thereabouts, bave been a disgrace to them, to the country, and to the j civilization m which we live. The good citizens of both places did all in their power to cheek and stop the evil, but all in vain. Mean whiskey whs at the bottom of the trouble, and the 1 law and order loving people, though they were largely in the mojority, were helpless. So terrible has the evil become that tl.e Air-Line Railroad authorities have petitioned the Ordinary Jto retuse to. vrant any more licenses for lhe sale of liquor at Lulu Junction mid vicini ty. The petition is signed by all the officers ot the Air-Line and North- Eastern Railroads, and numbers of the best citizens of the county. The Railroad authorities set forth their reasons qsfollows: Ist. Il is the Junction of the North Eastern Railroad with the Richmond A Danville Railroad, and uecesssrily becomes a point where passengers m e compelled to remain over for arrival of trains, rendering it unpleasant and hazardous to do so during the drunken scenes thnt so frequently occur. 2d. The Railroad Coni) allies are now endeavoring to establish a re spectable eatimr-hoinw at that point, but cannot subject their passengers to the liability of insult nnd danger inci dent to free use of strong drink at that place. 3d. The reputation of the town, county, and public morals are endan gered, nnd prosperity, so promising to other sections, (having not as good railroad facilities) will never be enjoy ed by this favored location, unlii a re form takes place in this particular. The petition is accompanied by an i article clipped from the Earie, giving : lhe particulars of a bloody affrav, some weeks since, between James Ll : rod. Bud Jones, and Mattie lly.le. We tire glad to learn that Judge Winburn has determined to grant the [ petition, and refuse further license for the sale of liquors nt this point. In this derision he will have the sym pathy and thanks of all the best peo ple not only of that vicinity, but of ■ the entire county. He lias done his duty as a man, u Christian, an otheer, and a gentleman ; mid he will receive the applause that is always due Io an inflexible purpose to follow the right. How long must ii be before the same spirit will control our entire county ?

The Ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at home when lhe head of the household —farmer or machanic, merchaiit or lawyer, capitalist or operative— en joy k the weekly rest among those for whom the six days of labor have been spent. Whether lhe Sabbatic institu tion was or was not created by lhe fourth coininandmeiil, there seems to he in those words, ’* Thou, nor tby ngii, mu thy daughter, nor thy man kervant, nor ihv maid servant,” a - , gliinpxe of lhe rc.Hliul enjoy me tit which the day of rest, in lhe primitive con ception of it, would bring to the fami lies that keep it. The day of rest be ing rest mid not revelry or diimipa tioii, and being therefore a day of home ei joymeiit, biings with it oppor tunity tor sober thought ami confer ence. A iSabbalh-keeping people will become a thoughtlul people, mid such though tfulness is manliness. All men, and especially the busy millions in an ! advanced civilization like our own, I need lor lhe mind’s sake, not less : l ban tor the sake of wearied nerves and musiivs, the seventh day inter mission of their ordinary work. A true Sabbath is something tar more restful than a day of noisy jollity. In its calm nir the mind rests by thought, not by thoughtlessness; by quiet mus- ing, by conscious or unconscious re trospection • perhaps by considera tion of what might have been, per haps by thinking what yet may be, perhaps by aspiration mid resolve towards something in the future that shall be better than what has been in the past, home in which Sunday lis a day of rest mid home enjoyment !is hnllowi dby the Sabbaths w Inch it j liallows. In the Sabbath-keeping vill- age, life is less frivolous, and al the same time industry is more produc- I live for the weekly rest. A Sabbaik- I keeping nation is gieater in peace and I in war for c haracter which its tranquil I and thoughtful Sabbaths have impress ! upon it Rev. Dr. Bacon. 1 I.IGIIT IN *D\KKNESS. It was out of the cloud that tliedel ! uge came, yet it is upon it that the bow is set! The cloud is a thing of darkness, yet God chooses rt for the place where he bends the arch of light! Such is the way of our God. He knows that we need the cloud, and that a bright sky w ithout a speck of shadow would not suit us in our passage to the kingdom. Therefore he draws the cloud above us,not once in a life-time, but many times. But lest the gloom should appal us, he braids the cloud w Ith sttiisl jne, nav, makes it the ob ject which gleams io our eye with the very fairest hues of heaven. Yes, is is not merely light after the darkness has tied away. That we shall one day know—how fully ! But it is light in darkness; light beaming out of I a ray produced by that darkness I Wa iter from the rock; well from the sand! | light from the very cloud that darkens; i life is fixe very midst of death! This iis the marvel, this is the joy. Peace in trouble, gladness in sorrow ; nay. peace i .utd gladness which nothing but that 1 tribulation ennld hare produced!— Such is the deep love of God; and . such is the way in which he make* all ■ things work together for good to us.— r | //oro/iw* Sonar 1 ■ res ': Nothing is intolerable that is nec- C essary.
