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!” Aaa SB9«a tain swsjr in tanfls Us to you ESAJKPTT li t* a e, pnOTOW BA.COW, • pssk sfpsssor n btesfscsp.

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. A GOOD BED. -Emory and the Commoner teem to weep-on the same political bed.— MdWBmian. ^ (J The editor of tha Madianpian, In the sentenee quoted above, refers to Mr. ipeelyffiua ■artJmala t^*wnA> tivc in congress,? and Mr. Stephens, “(he great commoner” whoienpe- sent»the people of onr neighboring district; It is a. very high compli ment tbe editor pays Mr. Speer, and, itf behalf of oqr. talented young rep resentative, and hia intelligent and patriotic constituency, we lhauk the Madissn’an for it.

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 hold into active wanike preparation, the next. It can attract all the good looking women in the neighborhood to tbe house, and drive all the men to an adjoining Bute. It oan scare a man half out of his wits and send him for a doctor by getting np a double back action set of the cramps,, and greet the. doctor with a smile when he oomes. * Yea, the infant baa genius. Not- withstanding ail the care trouble and anxiety it ia to the hBppy possessor of the article, H can warm up the hearts ■wdl their bosoms with pride and inake very wicked people thank heav es that there is something worth liv ing for. At the same time we wouldn’t take an infant aa a gift. We believe the disease that bus the most te.'ror for women is lock-jaw. Now, just as the business season i < opening is the time to advertise. Politeness requires that all calls made by telephones should bu return ed. There is a great difference between being a member uf the bar and being a lawyer. The more we do, the more we can do ; the busier we are the more leisure we have. No man, while board fence adver tising is popular, will ever be allowed to forget that he has a liver. Make but few exp'anations; the character that cannot otherwise de fend itielf ia not worth vindicating. Few persons would hesitate to lay dowu life’s burden, if they didu’t fear that tbe devil would pick it up. “Can You Support Me, Darling?” is the piojaic title of a new song. “You ask too much!” might be the prosaic reply.

A rain at this time would give it a black eye. It is easy to stump Rhode Island. A grand stand is erected in the mid dle of the State, and the thing is done with a single speech.

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 ing into the hall she found her little 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!
