The -wagers- -of political warfare

There is nothing in the world

the pitiful story Tom told me as he
aiuokedhii after-supper pipe last night.
Tbe other day just before I came

Tom had noticed with the babe. |His
precious fittic bundle lay quiet on the

frail finger-tips he held so gently in

luff conductor. “It died this morn
ing at khe bay. He couldn't bear to
put it in a coffin, because then it
would have to go without him in the
baggage-car, and so ke is just carry

KeHne Cole in N. 0. Timet.
Two years ago the Augusta Chron*
ide nnd the Atlanta Constitution
were trying to read Mr. Stephens
out of the democratic party. They
did their u I moat to prevent his being
returned to congress, and the well
known bulldozing proclivities of the
Augusta organ were brought to hear
on little Aleck to force him to come
to terms. The mgloriously disastrous
failure of the attempt is fresh in the
memory of men, and will never be
forgotten. Not having profited, as
wise men would have done, by their
then bitter experience, the two or
gans tried the same game again last
winter, and met with no better suo
cess than in their former effort, as
was evidenced by the recent renomi
nation of Mr. Stephens by acclamas
tion with(a rising vote.
Remembering the ridiculous and
intolerant utterances of these organs
two years ago, and again a few
months ago, the reader who doeent
understand their true inwardness is
very apt to be suprised on perusing
the following extracts from the same
organs a few days ago.
Quoth the Angnsta organ :
“In this District Mr. Stephens will
bave .no opposition of any kind, Dem
ocratic or Republican. He will in
die parlance ot the day, have “a walk
over.” This is aa it should be. We
yield to no one in a proper venera
tion for Mr. Stephens, whose reputa
tion is not confined to any State lim
it, but is national and European. No
statesman ir America is more widely
and honorably known, and in his
bands tbe welfare and glory uf Geor
gia, as well as the perpetnity of the
true Federal Union in peace and re:
nown, are safe beyond a shadow of
suspicion or doubt. It is well, there
fore, that he should again return to
Washington as our Representative
and witntws the deliverance of his
people and tho people of the whole
Union, for which he has. struggled
mightily, in sickness and iu health, in
good report and in evil report, when
the suu shone and when the storm
lowered. Providence has perhaps
lengthened his days, so full uf pain
aud yet so fall of good fruit, that lie
might not only behold the proutined
land ot Democratic triumph, but
more fortunate than tbe Hebrew
Prophet, to enter therein and become
partaker of the splendid heritage
That he mar do so is onr most fei-
vent wish, and to forward that desire
we shall do all in our power to make
his path to Washington pleasant,
peaceful and easy, satisfied that at
Ute eud of tbe journey be can auswer
for himself and await the summons to
“come np higher.’’
And thus the Atlanta organ:
“ As a member of congress, Mr.
Stephens represents the whole South,
aud it would be to tbe honor and
>rofit of the democratic party if the
emocratio majority in the Louse ot
representatives were to cliape its poli
cy in accordance with the suggestions
of the old commoner. He is wise io
council, conservative in aetion, and
impartial in judgment. Mr. Stephens
is not a party man in tbe strict mean
ing of that term—that is to say, he is
not a partisan ; but the principles of
democracy are the rule and guide of
his political conduct, and it is as sale
to trust bis prudent patriotism as to
pool opinions in a caucus. We may
not always agree with Mr. Stephens
on questions of party policy, but in
disagreeing with him we feel perfectly
sure of the parity cf bis motives ana
of bis exalted patriotism. Compara
tively speaking, Mr. Stephens is still
strong and vigorous. His wonderful
intellect still staads-guard over the
frail and wasted body, and he bids
fair to be of service to the State for
yean to come.”
We do not publish the foregoing
extracts for any effect they will have
upon Mr. Stephens’s status, for .noth
ing the ergans say'for or against him
affects bis place ir she .hearts of the
people. We gfKjfafc them simply to
show the people what mere weather*
cocks mere organa are, and to pat
them on notice that they need not be
at all suprised to see these same or-
-gana again decrying Mr. Stephens be-
fore the expiration of his next term.
“WE SURRENDER!”

SURE ENOUGH.
TOfi Atlanta FfcTsaid th* other day
that the reported arrangement was
that Willis A. Hawkins was to makf
three aptoshro for Governor Colquitt
and then be given the appointment of
judge of the supreme court. Tha
were made,—and, sure
jnrithiB hVbeen appoint*
vacant 'seat on the supremi
court bench. Now, B the riwyLoch
rane was there fay Willis’s aids
wouldn't there ha a jolly pair upon the
$<noh together?
‘My dear,’ said Mr. Spoopeudyke,
feeling up the chimney, ‘have you
seen my gold collar button ?’
‘I saw it the day you bought it,’
answered Mrs. Spoopendyke,cheerily;
•and I thonght it very pretty. Why
do yon ask P»
•’Cause I’ve lost the measly thing,’
responded Mr. Spoopendyke, running
the broom-handle np into the cornice
and shaking it ns if it were a carpet.
‘Yoft dc-n’t suppose it is up there,
do yon V asked Mrs. Spoopendyke.
Where do you suppose I’d leave it—
in the hash f* and Mr. Spoopendyke
tossed over the things in bis wife’s
writing desk and looked out of the
window after it.
‘Where d'd yon leave your shirt?*
asked Mrs. Spoopendyke.’
'Where did I leave my shirt?
Where do you suppose I left it ?
Where does a man generally leave
his shirt. Mrs. 8poopendyke? Think
I left it in the ferryboat ? Got an
idea I left it at prayer meeting, hav-
ent’t von? Well, I didn’t. I left it
off, Mis. Spoopendyke, that’s wheie
Heft it. I left it off. Hear me? 1
And Mr. Spoopendyke pulled the
Winter clothing out ol the cedar chest
that hadn’t been unlocked lor a
month.
‘Where is the shl-t now ?’ persisted
Mm. Spoopendyke.
‘Where do you suppose it is?
Where do you imagine it is? ‘I’ll tell
you wheie it is, Mrs. Spoopendyke;
i t’s gone to Bridgeport as a witness
in a land si iL Idea! Aak a man
where his shirt is 1 You know I hav
en’t been out of the room since I came
liome last night and took it off;’ and
Mr. Spoopendyke sailed down stairs
and raked the fire out ot the kitchen
range, hot didn’t find the button.
‘Maybe you lost it on the way
home,’ suggested Mrs. Spoopendyke,
as her husband came up, hot ami an
gry, and began to pull a stuffed cana
ry to piece-to see if the button had
got inside.
‘Oh, yes! Very likely! I stood up
against a tree and lost it Then I hid
behind a fence, so I wouldn’t see it.
That’s the way it was. If I only had
your head, Mrs. Spoopendyke, I’d
turn loose as a razor-strop. I don’t
know anything sharper than you are;'
and Mr. Spoopcndyko clutched s
handful of dust off of the top of the
wardrobe.
‘It must have fallen out,’ mused
Mrs. Spoopendyke.
*Oh! it must, eh! It must Wave
fallen out? Welt, I declare, I never
thought ot that. My impression was
that it took a buggy and drove out,
or a balloon and hoisted out,’ and Mr.
Spoopendyke crawled behind the bu
reau and commenced tearing up the
carpet.
‘And if it fell out, it must bo some
where near where he left his shirt.
Now he always throws his shirt on
the longue and the button is under
that.’
A moment’s search soon established
the infallibility of Mrs. Spoopcndyke’s
logic.
‘Oh, yes ! Found it, didu’t you ?’
panted Mr. Spoopendyke, as he
burabed his head against the bureau
aud finally climbed to a perpendicu
lar. . ‘Perhaps you’ll fix my shirts so
that it won’t fall out any more, nod
maybe you’ll have sense enough to
mend that longue, now it has made
so much trouble. If yon only tended
to the bouse as I do to my business,
there’d never be any difficulty about
losing a collar button*’
‘It wasn’t my fault’—began Mrs.

My Dear Sirs: Your letter of
the 1st insi., informing me of the ac
tion of the Eighth Congressional
District, assembled in Augusta, that
day, in again presenting my name
for re-election to Congress was duly
received.
I need hardly say, that this re
newed manifestation of the confidence
of the Democracy of this District
thus expressed by so able a body of
their chosen representatives, is a
source of unusual gratification to me.
and you will allow me to add, that
th<8 gratification is greatly enhanced
by the manner in which it was done.
Next to the approval of his own
conscience, notliiug can be more
ratifying to a public servant in the
ischarge of difficult and delicate du
ties, than the approval «f an intelli
gent aud confiding constituency.
Without intending to indulge in
language of boosting or flattery, I
can not forbear on this occassion to
express the opinion I have long en
tertained, and still proudly cherish
that no one, in any legislative body,
ever represented a more enlightened,
moral, high-toned and patriotic con
stituency than I have had the honor
tt> represent for so many years in the
councils of the Federal Union.
Be assured, gentlemen,, I most
gratefully accept the honor conferred;
and, should your presentation of my
name to the electors be ratified by
the people at the polls, 1 shall look
upoaitasthe crowning glory of a
long and not uneventful life. In
that event, wilh the favor of Provi
dence, I shall assume the high and
responsible duties thereby imposed,
and shall endeavor, to the best of my
ability, in the future as in the past
to faithfully watch over, protect and
defend the rights, interests and honor
of my constituents, without respect
of persons or conditions of life— while,
at the same time, I shall not be un
mindful or neglectful of the rights
the interests, the welfare and renown
of our entire State, nor of our com
mon country.
For the very kind manner, gentle
men, in which you have been pleased
to g;»*‘ak ot me personally, I pray you
to accept my sincere thanks.
Yours truly,
Alexander II. Stephens.

Genius is that quality which enables
a person to accomplish the apparently
impossible.
The infant, tho little cuddler, we
mean, has more of this quality than
all the rest ot the world combined.
It can look cross-eyed in seventeen
different directions, and alarm his
happy pa for fear that the defect is
to oe permanent
It can pudge both fists into its eyes
all day long, and yet not have strength
enough to open its fingers.
It can keep its lungs full and its
over-onusical voice for nineteen
straight boars, and never draw a
breath. It doesn’t take time. *
I can swallow enough soothing
syrnp to put fonr full-grown men to
their eternal sleep, nnd the only edict
will be increased wakefulness.
It nr .kes a mouth a hopper for one
continuous stream ot nourishment, and
its stomach, that isn’t a bit bigger
than a robin’s egg, will pack down
taro gallons of mnk a day and still be
empty. i
It creates a color blindness in its
parents, no matter how accurate their
eye for diodes. The mother always
calls it “such a pretty little pink
thing,** while tbe father is sure that it
is a yeller. '
It can tie itself into contortions that
any acrobat would give a year’s sala
ry to acoomplish, and kick itself all
straight just as soon a? somebody-Lo
gins to take care of it.
It can hoist the most dignified gen
tleman trom his oouch of repose aud
send him masquerading about the
house with his wig off and in his
stocking feet, on an expedition of life
or death, for him or the infant, he
don’t care whioh.
It can superinduce the worst pro
fanity, and shake tbe foundations ot
the church itself, when its pa happens
to be a deaoon.
It can be a “well spring of pleasure
in the house* 1 one minute, and an in
carnate fiend^ setting the whole house

A Remarkable Occurrence.
The Macon Telegraph of yesterday
says that a day or two since there
occurred in Ylneville one of the most
singular events we have ever been
called on to record. It was nothing
more or less than a bold attack by a
hawk upon a lady. The eireuinstanoes
are as follows: The lady was in a
room adjoining the hall when she
heard a heavy thud, and the noire of
falling glass outside the door. Rush

child there, and perehed upon some
object near at hand a gigantic hawk.
Upon the appearance of the lady,
the bird made a swoop for her, and
while she was using all endeavors to
protect the child by oovering its
head, fastened its talons in the.lady’s
hair. After a considerable struggle,
she succeeded in bea ing the bird off,
when ft retreated to a picture of Gent
era! Lee npon which it perehed- Tbe
lady retreated to her room and called
opon tbe servants to close the hall
door. This was dons'and hia hawk-
