TWO LIFE PICTURES.
Our friends of the North, especi
ally of New Eugland, have so long
talked of their superiority to us semi-
barbarians of the South, that they
have really come to believe it is so.
We have no desire to disparage the
people of that great section, but we
have always thought that there were
some traits of southern character
which they might well imitate.
Rev. S. S. Sweet, of Georgia, is
taking a northern tour, and writiug
to the Savannah News. W e quote
from taislettere two life-pictures."
first from Boston, dated July 19, is
as follows:
“There is apparently a supreme
selfishness manifested in every indi
vidual, and at the same time a studied
politeness. They treat you with the
utmost consideration, so long as it
does not interfere with their own
comfort and desires. I cannot illus
trate this peculiarity better than by
giving an incident in connection with
a friend of mine. A gentleman, who
had shared the hospitality of my
friend at his elegant home, inet him
in Boston, where he resides. And in
lieu of the attentions given by my
friend, the Boston man, who met him
very cordially, invited him and his
wife to come around after tea and go
with his family to church, and he
would give them a seat in his pew.
That and nothing more was tendered.
There are exceptions to this rule, and
no doubt some very hospitable peo
ple live in Boston, hut I have not
met them.”
The other picture is ot a different
thing ; but it is an illusttation of the
same spirit of selfishness :

I was aUrxcted by the sweet voice of
a child saying, ‘Mamma, have I got 1
my hat on wrong ?’ The child was
about five years old, with open, beau
tiful countenance, and although mov
ing listlessly about iu the car, lo my
astonishment I discovered that she
was totally blind. Her mother, a
medium-sized lady, with an attractive
form and-faoe that impressed me at
once of its being of a southern type,
answered tho child’s question. This
mother and the children were trav
eling alone to the far West. I called
the little blind child to me, whom
I,found intelligent and talkative. We
became fast friends the remainder of
our journey. A child so unfortunate
arouses the deepest sympathy, and
while I was ministering to some
of her childish wants and answering'
her question, tho mother approached
me with the questions, ‘Are you not
from the South ?’ to which I made an
swer. ‘I thought so,’she continued, ‘for
nono of these people ha\e any syntpa-
thy or patience with my poor,unfortu
nate child, and none seem to care
how we get along.’
The story was short. The husband
had preceded and established himself
iu business, and the wife and the ba
bies were hastening to share his good
fortune. Of course my services were
tendered, and most gratelnlly ac
knowledged. The mother was from
Maryland and retained all the fervor
ot her first love lor her native land.
At midnight, I bore tbo sightless and
helpless child from our train at Mans
field to the Chicago train that was to
bear them to their loved one, and
received the grateful thanks from a
mother’s heart in return, and tie
sweet good shy e and parting kiss from
the blind little child. I was glad that
I was from the South, and had a na
ture that could be moved by others’
woes.’’
We submit for the consideration of
the farmers ot our country the fol
lowing truthful remarks of the Bal
timore Sun : ‘The South can raise its
own meat and bread quite as cheaply
as it can buy them from the West or
North. With its genial climate and
fertile soil it is an agricultural anom
aly that it should have to obtain corn
and wheat from foreign markets, and
with its millions of acres of pastur
age and forests it should count its
stock farms by the thousand and be
able to supply its planters and farm
ers with all kinds of meats. Such a
system would be based on common
sense principles and might be happily
supplemented by a rational culture of
cotton, which under these circum
stances would pay far better than the
monster crops which make great fig-
ures’on paper, but leave few dollars
in the planter’s pockets at the end of
tho y ear.’
What One Patriotic American Would Do in
Such an Event.
From tho Detroit Free Press.
Now, if I was President,’’ began
Mr. Butterby the other morning, as
he passed his cup over for a second
cup of coffee, ‘if I was president of
the United States—’
•Which yon aren’t, you know,’
broke in Mrs. B. in an argumentative
and confidential tone.
‘And not likely to be,’ added Mrs.
B.’s mother, with a contemptuous toss
of her bead. -
‘No,* assented Mr. B. pleasantly,
‘but I was just supposing the case—’
‘Then suppose something in reason,’
retorted Mrs. Butterby snappishly.
‘You might as well suppose you was
the man in the moon, or the Man in
the-Iron Mask, or—’
‘So I might, my dear, so I might,’
assented Mr. B., still pleasantly smil-
ling, ‘but that has nothing to do
with it. I was merely going to say
that if I was president ot the United
States I’d ’
My!’ burst in Miss Gertrude, aged
eighteen, ‘wouldn’t it be splendid it
you was, pa? Just to think how those
\Vheedletop girls would change their
tune when I met them, instead of
throwing out their insinuations about
people who considered it Christian
like to turn their last season’s silk
dress, so that they may have more to
give to charity! But they might
turn green with envy before I would

‘Yes, and wouldn’t I warm it to
Sammy Dugan, just,’ chitped in Mas
ter Thomas, aged twelve. ‘I’d go up

cos it ’ud be treason, and they’d hang
ftoscoe Conkling has fallen! Not
from office; for he voluntarily relin
quished office some time ago. Bnt
until yesterday he had before him at
least a possibility ot re-electioD. Now
he is fallen from position, from rank,
from the leadership of his party. To
day he is a mere private citizen, with
no encouraging prospect^ for the fu
ture. He may stretch forth his hands
in vain, and for many years foil to
clutch power again. By a miracle,
as it were, by an insane act ot au as
sassin, it is true that Mr. Coukling
stood, a few days ago, very near to
the power behind the tbrono which is
said to be greater 'than the 1 throne
itself; but lightning is as likely to
strike iu any particular place as such
a thing is to happen agsln. Mr.
Conkling has reached the full merid
ian of life, and his recent mistakes
aud foibles cannot be overlooked in
that generous spirit which pardons
much to the indiscretion of youth.
He stands facing a dark, if not ray
less, future. No rainbow of promise
spans his sky ; nor iu the order of na
ture, and in the ordinary course of
human affairs, can be reasonably ex
pect to behold any new morn on his
midday risen.
With those who rejoice over the
fell of Roscoe Conkling for personal
reasons, or in any spirit of exultation,
or petty triumph, we have no feeling
in common. Far from it. We re
member him as a true patriot during
the war. We recall with pride the
bright performances and more bril
liant promise of his earlier and better
days. We held too much in common
with him then, and battled by his
side too long, to contemplate his over.,
throw even now without some degree
of painful emotion. But while, per
sonally, we migbt pause to drop a
him; and I’d slide on the sidewalk an’ | tear into his political grave, for the
shy snowballs at p’leecemen, au’ sass
What with the telegraph, district
messenger, telephone and electric
light wires stretching along and across
its streets, there is hardly breathing
space left in New York, and it is very
difficult to catch an uninterrupted
view of the skies. The abuse, how
ever, to which this privilege of laying
wires has been carried has excited
the attention of the authorities, and
an edict has gone forth, that under no
circumstances, will any company, cor
poration or person be allowed in fu
ture to obstruct the streets with posts
or wires. Chicago has gone a step
further, and ordered all its telegraph
and telephone companies to pull down
their posts and wires within two
years.
Miss Ferule, an’ play hookey every

‘Yes,’ chimed in Airs. B , catching

the land, let the next be who she
would, and governors’ wives would
beg to be introduced to me, and I’d
have balls twice a week and banquets
every day, and ’
‘And I’d have tlie management of
the White House, and run things,’
remarked Mrs. B.’s mother, her eyes
sparkliug with the prospect.
‘Not much you wouldn’t,’ from
Miss Gertrude, ‘not much if I kept
my health and know myself, you
wouldn’t, not as long as I was the
sake of the country we rejoice over

The funny man of the New York
Times hits off the uumerous cases of
shots through the liver developed by
the President’s case thus : “The con
federates during the civil war seem to
have habitually aimed at union livers,
and to have bit them at least twice
out of three times. It may seem
strange to any one except a Concord
philosopher that a gunshot wouud oc
curring to-day could produce.scorcs of
similar wounds ten or fifteen years ago
but who could limit the possibility of
the vague and the unthinkable ? The
thousands of men whose livers have
been shot away in the civil war during
tlte last fortnight are clearly the vic
tims of contagion, and it the conta 1
gion spreads, as it promises to do,
there will not be a sound liver in
America a month hence.”
The New York Cotton, alluding to
the splendid prospects in store for
Texas as a producer of cottoa, states
that all its ‘advices from Western
Texas agree that the opening up 6f
the country by the new railroads has
worked a revolution in men’s minds
as to the adaptability of those enor*
mous expanses of country for suc
cessful cotton culture. It is found
that, far from being almost a desert,
the land is as fertile and well watered
as any in the south. Texas is only
wailing for men to produce 10,000,000
bales per annum in its own limits.’

In selecting Capt. W. W. Thomas,

an excellent choice, for more reasons
than one. He is a young man, and,
without disparagement to the Board,
the infusion of young blood will be
au advantage. He is a resident of
Athens, and the home board ought to
be as strong as possible. He is an
accomplished engineer and architect;
and if repairs and improvements are
as frequently made as they ought to
be. in the buildings end ground*, his
technical knowledge and skill will be
