St. l-ouia doctor factory recently
ed out a dozen female doctors,
lonjf as the female doctors were
mfined to one or two in the whole
CJuniry, And those only experiments,
“ held our peace, and did not com*
' i; but now that the colleges are
ged in producing female - doctors
business, we mnst protest, and in
oing will give it few reasons why
ale doctors will not prove a paying
-Bhiof industry.
tfiefrr8t 1 praft,'THK*y ddWor*i»T“
body it mnst be women, and three*
fourths of the women would rather
have a male doctor. Suppose those
colleges turn out female doctors nntil
there are as many of them as there
are male doctors, whom have they got
to practice on? A man, if there was
nothing the matter with him, might
call iu a female doctor, but if he was
sick us a horse, (if a man is sick he is
sick as a horse,) the last thing lie
would have around him then,
would be a iemale doctor. And why ?
Because, when a man has a female
fumbling around him he wants to feel
well.. He don’t want to be bilious or
feverish, with his mouth ta-ting like
cheese, and his eyes bloodshot, when
the female is looking him over and
taking account of stock.
Of course these female doctors arc
ad young and good-lookiug, and if
one ol them came into a sick room
where a man was in bed, and he had
chills, and was as cold as a wedge,
and she should sit up close lo the side
ol the bed and take hold of his hand,
his pulse would run up'to a hundred
and fifty, and she would prescribe for
a fever when ho had chilblains. Oh,
yon can’t fool us on female doctors.
A mail who lias been sick, and had
male doctors, knows just how much
lie would leel to have a female doctor
come tripping in and throw her fur-
lined cloak over a chair, lake off her
hat and gloves and throw them on a
lounge, and come up to the bed with
a pair of marine blue eyes, with a
twinkle iu the corner, and look him in
the wild, changeable eyes, ami ask him
to run out his tongue. Suppose he
knew his tongue was coated so it look
ed like a yellow Turkish towel, do
you suppose he would want to run out
over five or six inches of the lower
part of it and let that female doctor
put her finger «>n it to see how fur it
was? Not much, lie would put that
tongue up into his cheek, and wouldn’t
let lier see it for twenty-five cents
admission. Wc have all seen doctors
put tlit-ir Lands under the bed clothes
and feel of a n an’s feet to see it they
were cold. 1 i a female doctor should
do that it would give a man cramps
in the legs. A male doctor can put
his Laud on a man’s stomach, and liver
and lungs, ami ask him if he feels any
pain there, but if a female doctor
should do the same thing it would
make a man sick, and he would want
to get up and kick himself for employ
ing a female doctor. Oh, there is no
use talking; it woflld kiU a roan.
Now, suppose a man has heart dis
ease, and a female doctor should want
to listen to the beating ol his heart.
She would lay lier left ear on his left
breast, so lier eyes and rosebud
mouth would be looking right in his
face, and her wavy hair would be
scattered all arouud there, getting
tangled in tile buttons of his night
shirt. Don’t you suppose his heart
■would get in about twenty extra beats
to the minute? You bell Aud she
would smile—we will bet ten dollars
she would smile—'and show her pear*
ly teeth, and the ripe lips would be
working as though she were counting
the beats, and he would think she
was trying to whisper to him, and—.
Well, what would he he doing all this
time ? If he was not dead yet which
would be a wonder, his left band
would brush the hair sway ffom her
temple and kind of stay there to keep
the hair away, and his right hand
would get sort of nervous and move
around to the back of her head, and
when she had counted the beats a
few minutes and was rai9iug her head
he would draw the head up to him
and kiss her once for luck, if he was
as bilious as a Jersey swamp angel—
and have her charge it in the bill.
And then a reaction would set in, and
he would be as weak as a cat, and she
would have to fun him and ■ ub his
head till he got over being nervous,
and then make out his prescription
alter he got to sleep. -No; all of a
man’s symptoms change when a • fe
male doctor is practising on him, and
ehe would kili him dead.

TO THE FARMERS OF GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga., April 25tli.—At
this season you wid doubtless find it
piotitable to employ additional labor
ers. I am enabled to stata that, if farm
ers in this state will employ in , one
neighborhood a sufficient number of
.white laborers to give them congeni
al companionship, and will board them
in their houses, or provide them with
food or lodging that will be satisfac-
torv. Dflvini* fair wa<rc»8 it in nrohq— end of rafters. One set of principal rafters to be

can be supplied. A charge of $5 per
head wifi be required, in order to pay
expenses. It the laborers are not de
livered at the place agreed upon, the
its institutions of Learning fostered
and supported by her, it has always
held a warm place iu the heart of otir
commonwealth. The alumni of the
University are found in every town
and banilet, and it there is any one
thing upon which the finger of time
cannot place its impress it is the mem
ory of schoolboy days. Wherever they
may be, whatever circumstances may
surround them, the heart will throb at
mention of his alma mater, and when
her interests are to he subserved, his
hand, his heart, and his purse are at
her service. Year by year this influ
ence is augmenting, and the friends of
the goodl) little city are increased by
the score, as her graduating classes go
forth into the busy walks of life.
On the occasion of the meeting of
the State Baptist Convention in Ath
ens last week, we paid the city a visit.
It was not the first time we hail been
to Athens, hut it was the first time we
have ever got acquainted with 1
Our other visits were mere formal in
troductions, a bow, a commonplace
word or two, and she swept aside her
skirts and passed on, while we went
about our business. This time wo
went to visit her, we came to know
her, to declare our passion, and best
of all, if our vanity is not leading us
into grievous error, to find it recipro
cated.
No reader need fear that we are
going into details about the Baptist
Convention. They had a regular
Secretary, and he will doubtless print
the proceedings in a book, and those
interested can buy it. Of far more
interest is it to us to talk ot Athens
herself, her manly men, beautiful wo
men, and open hospitality. In the
last named she stands a peerless queen
and the salt ot the earth who entered
in and supped at her table, and par
took of the good cheer, went away
feeling that it was indeed good to be
there. In the language of the old
play song of the children
“She lifted up her gates as high as the sky.
To let King George’s men pa -s by.”
Only instead of of letting them
pass by she had them to pass in, and
make themselves at home.
For many years Athens was in*
debted for her greatness to the state
University. Commercially she was
blocked in, and was the teruminus ol
a branch railroad in the hards of a
corporation who could make or 'break
her at will. A few years since the
plnck of the citizens and a little aid
from the state carved a way through
the forest aud tapped a trunk line
from the east to the west, thus giving
her competitive rates, and ruauy other
advantages. And yet with all these,
she was only the terminal point of two
branch railroads. Now it sceins that
there is a fair prospect that all this is
to be changed, and in the moves up*
on the railroad checkerboard, she
seems about to reap the benefits of
being on a trunk line between the At
lantia‘and the east and west. It she
achieves this her waiting and watching
and labor will not have keen iu vain,
and none will rejoice more than we
at her success.

preciate the difficulties attending my Joln,s ,0 he co.cred

west and ought to succeed here. If
successful, several thousand can be
speedily furnished ; if unsuccessful, it
will be difficult to inaugurate so com*
prehensile a scheme again. It is very
important that good wheal bread be
supplied them, for they know nothing
of corn bread, and will not take kind

receive good diet and lodging until
they can learn our language and pro

will accomplish this and, after that, it
is confidently believed they will either
buy land or work at the same wages
now paid to our excellent negro labor

Famous Flags.
Macon Telegraph’
The first Confederate banner made
in (Georgia was the work of Mrs.
Thomas Hardeman. It was present
ed to the Floyd Rifles on the morn
ing aftei the congress at Montgomery
had adopted the stars and bars as the
flag of the Confederacy, and was taken
by the Rifles to Norfolk, Va., in April
18til. During the confusion of re
moval and transportation it was un
fortunately lost.
The banner born by the Macon
Volunteers during the late war was
presented by Miss Marianne Cobh,
(laughter of General Howell Cobb.
It was the sixth standard that had
been presented to that company, and
was destroyed in Richmond, Virgin
ia, during the burning of a portion of
that city at the dose of the war.
The colors of the first Georgia Reg
iment ol Volunteers, Colonel Henry
R Jackson commanding, were made
and presented by Miss Howard of Co
lumbus, afterwards Mrs. Charles Wits
Hams. She was the origiuator of our
memorial day, aud in honor ot her
memory, the grave where she rests,
on the banks ol the Chattahoochee,
receives at every anniversary of that
day a most appropriate floral decora
tion.
AX EXPLAXATI0X.
The words “nihilist,” “commu
nist” and “socialist’’ are more or less
familiar to the reader, who may or
may not exactly understand their
meaning. Mr. Louis Viereck, a so
cialist editor from Leipsic,, Germany,
explains as to the terms “nihilist”
and “socialist.” It will require a
Frenchman to furnish the definition
of “communist.” “In Russia,” says
Herr Vierack, “there are three fac
tions of so-called nihilists. One of
these aimed at a constitutional mon
archy and free suffrage. JThe second
aims at socialistic republic, and- cors
responds to the socialists of Germa
ny. The other taction is composed
of anarchists, who are agaii.atjall gov
ernment, ami,would destroy every
thing. The anarchists are the assas
sins. There are anarchists iu Germa
ny, but they are excluded from the
socialistic party. Justus Schwab and
Ilasseiinanu, of New York,and Moat,
whose paper was suppressed in Lon
don recently, are anarchists, and hjwe
heen excluded from the socialistic
party. The socialists btlieve they
can accotr plish their objects peacea
bly, and are opposed to violence.”
Grant’s Design.
An old West Pointer who knows
Grant well says; ‘The ex-Presidenl
has landed in Mexico, aud^hia arrival
there is at pregnant with fate to that
country as was the landing Ot Cortez.
Mexico haa been a dream with him
ever since he was there as a boyssol-
dier—for be was nothing more—and
was intoxicated with its possibilities
for empire and enjoyment. Grant
savs now that he wants lfi years in
Which (o develop the country. In 6
years he will be its President; in 10
years its dictator. He goes there as
a patriot, and the ‘outs’ will take up
with him as a good man to head their
column. Grant talks about trade,
and no doubt be means railroads and
importations and all that, but it is not
sale to say that you can tell from his
conversation just what he is thinking
gbout. Grant meaus bigger business
in Mexico than any of his friends have
yet given him credit for.’
(Atlanta Tout-Appeal, April 29.)
From a gentleman who has just
come from Gainesville we learu the
following particulars of a queer con
test which is going on between Hon.
Ferdinand Phinizy, of Athens, and
Mr. J. J. Hayden, of White Sulphur 'vand state.
Springs. Both are wealthy men. Mr.
Hayden is largely interested iu gold
mining in North Georgia. The case
seems to be about this: Some time
ago the railroad allowed Phinizy to
erect a dwelling house on their right
of way; but the railroad company had
no deed to the land, pud Hayden
went and bought a large tract of land
which included the land on which
Phinizy’s house was erected. The
house being vacant, Hayden moved
into it, claiming that the house was
his and everything else that was on
his land, just as much as the trees that
are standing on his land are his. Phin
izy thought differently, and sent two
men to eject Hayden from the house,
which they did and put his goods out
also. He then employed Preston
Prather and Jesse Davis to guard
the house to prevent Hayden from
re-entering the house. Last Sunday
Prather left Davis alone to go to
Gainesville.thinking that Davis would
be able to “hold the fort.’’ Sunday
Hayden called around at the house
and found Davis in bed from a sore
toot. Hayden dressed his foot for
him and then picking up Davis’ gun
and revolver, and his own gun, he
went on the verandah and discharged
the contents of all the fire-arms. He
then told Davis that the best thing
he could do Was to get on the down
train, when it came along, and go to
Gainesville. Davis objected, and said
he did not want to 'do it. Hayden
replied that men had to do a great
many things sometimes that they did
not want to do, and that this .was one
of them; that he must go; and that
when he flagged down the train he
must get on board. Davis reluctant
ly did as lie was bid, but not belcre
he had drained Hayden’s whisky flask
for him. Aliout three hours alter
the train had passed Davis returned
with a posse of men in buggies, and
arrested Hayden on a warrant, charg
ing him with a-sault with intent to
murder. Hayden quietly submitted
to tiie arrest, and went along with
them to Gainesville, but having $10.-
000 in Banks’ bank, he got Banks to
go on bis bond.
The case was being tried before
court ot referees yesterday when dur
informant left. Hayden claims that
he still haa the keys. However that
may be, Phinizy has three men still
guarding the bouse against all intru
ders.
