ONE SUMMER.
LINES TO Im W. C
When Spring mufurlad her banners fair
O'er field and dale and wood.
Clothed in allvery rich and rare.
And beautiful, they stood.
Then Summer came, but only brought
To etch leaf a greener hue—
The clouds a deeper lustro caught,
The aides s deeper blue.
Whan Autumn breathed on every leaf
His even magic breath,
They ahoue In radiance bright as brief—
“Mast beautiful in death."
But shall the fair, bright summer hours
Unheeded take their flight.
And ail unmourned, save by the flowers,
That lived but in their light?
And shell their memory like a dream
Of beauty fade and die ?
And 'neatli Lethe's cold, dark stream
Forgotten ever lie ?
Ob! whon another Summer sun
Shall call to Hfo the flowers.
Let their sweet fragrance bring the one
Thought of those vanished hours.

A Vesskl on Fire for Ten Months.
—Information received from
Lloyd's states that the Peninsular
and Orioutal mail steamer Hiudos-
tun, arrived at Suez from Chinn, re
ports that “on the night of the 17th
of September, two days before reach
ing Aden, she boarded a vessel which
had apparently been abandoned on
fire, probably some weeks previous
ly Shu was completely gutted, but
the coal was still smouldering in
her hold. She was identified ns the
Tcviotdalo of Glasgow, by tho offi
cial.number and registered tonnage
marked on the nmiu-hntch beam.
The iron ship Teviotdnlo, bound
from Cardiff to India with a cargo
of coals, wus abandoned cn fire on
the 1st of November, 187G, in lati.
tudo 11 south, longitude 7east, near
the Mauritius, and has thus drifted
about two thousand miles in ten
months. The crew were picked up
soon after abandoning the vessel.
London^Tablet.
Thu so-called petrified man, with
n tail, from Colorado, proves to be
a second edition with variations, of
tho Cardiff giant. He is composed
of dnrk colored limestone. Tho
presence of *eamB in his body indi
cating stratification, and the absence
from bis surface of acuto angles, and
of all furrows oxccpt such as could
be made with a blunt instrument,
aro thought to completely disprove
tbe claim that he is a petrifaction.—
Peculiarities iu his anatomical struc
ture altogether retute the theory
that he comes down to us from re
mote ages; nnd iu all probability he
hits assumed his present form at
some time within tho last two or
throo years; and his ingenious arti
ficer is now perhaps chuckling in
wardly at the deception which he is
practicing on the gullible 19th cen
tury.
A CAPITAL VISION.
A Dream That Was Not all a
Dream.
Boswell, Ga., November 2, 1877.—
Editor Morning News: Having hod a
most remarkable dream, and thinking
it might be of interest, I have written
it for the benefit of your readers.
In the watches of the night, when
deep sleep fell upon me, I saw a vis
ion, and dreamed dreams that troubled
mo.
I dreamed, nnd behold the day of
election was past, and tho people hod
voted for Atlanta to remain tho capi
tal. Tho people of Atlanta laughed
much, nnd the owners of real estate
put up tho price thereof, and the pea
nut merchants ordered large stocks,
und the men all smiled till the bar
keepers becamo happy. And the
whole town laughed and the Opera
House smiled so that its face spread
much, and the architects ran and cov
ered the cracks with plaster, then stood
star off and suid, “The building is safe
and muoli better than tho old house in
Milledgoville.”
Tho vision changed. Tho Legisla
ture was in session nnd tho members
waded through mud and snow, they
cursed the climate, they conglicd and
blow their noses so that even the fa
vored few near the Speaker’s desk
could not hear tho clerk read the bills,
nnd thereby several were passed much
to the benefit of private individual--.
A memorial was read saying that 1 lie
town of Atlanta had contracted for tun
acres of land near the classic suburb of
Hard 3queezo, and would put up
$25,000 building (“as good os the old
one") if the Stute required it and would
endorse tho bonds of the city to that
amount But vuriuUB members, whose
pockets clinked, said that it would be
uuftiir to compel Atlanta fo^furnish a
Capitol for tho use of the rest of the
State, nnd that it was buncntli the dig
nity of Georgia to accept a State House
as a gift, so the gcueron-s offer was de
dined.
I saw again, several capitalists anil
developers assembled iu uu upper
chamber, and the doors being closed,
they agreed to buy a eertniu block iu
the city; they also contributed a largi
sum to buy spectacles to enable tho
members of the Legislature to sco that
it wonld ho much to tho advantage of
the State to liny said block and orecta
-upitol thereon. So the taxpayers put
their hands in their pockets and the
developers put dollars in theirs.
Again, I saw the developers in tho
upper chamber, nuri again they made
a parse, this time to demonstrate tltat
there wns nothing so suitable to make
a building, that would develop states
manship as brick and stone,, that they
could furnish. So they got a large
cantract and their bank accounts in
creased, nnd builders nnd architects
prospered. When the first appropria
tion wus exhausted tho Legislature was
asked for more and the next year a
long report was mado showing that the
money had all been spont, and that
about one hundred thousand more
wonld complete a building that wonld
be an honor to the State. An elegant
bunquet convinced tho Logislatr.ro ns
so much had been already spent it
would bo wrong not to finish tho buil
ding.
Tho papers became full of advertise-
ments’of tax sales, nud as the publican
came efter me with an execution I
made one desperate effort to evade
him. I found it a dream, but not nil
dream.

The Dentil of Le«.
Courier Joonui, 97UtuU.
Six years ago last Friday, General
R. E. Lee died. No one who was
iu Lexington at the time, can ever
forget the effect of the rather unex
pected event upon the people of that
little valley town. One who was
present at tho last moment ran to
tho Episcopal church, a few paces
distant, and began tolling the knell
of the great life that bad just gone
oat. Wherever tho solemn sound
was borne—over the village and ont
into the fields -every soul was pro
phetic of the great sorrow that had
como. The merchant ceased his
barter; books dropped from a thou
sand electrified students’ band; col
lege tutors, who professed a practi
cal faith in the philosophy of the
stoics, wept as children; and oven
tho stolid negro^field-hands forsook
the plow and rushed into town with
anxious look to learn the worst.—
Had it been the last tramp that
sounded it would not have brought
the business affairs of that commu
nity to a more complete standstill.
It was Wednesday, and on the fol
lowing Saturday the remains were
borne to their last resting place, in
a vault in.tbe basement of the me
morial chapel. During those four
days the writer did not see a smile
on any face among tho thousands
that congregated there. Yet they
were but a few—tho world was in
mourning. The several nights pro
ceeding tho death of Gen. Lee were
remarkable for ths unusual brillian
cy of the northern lights, which, af
ter tiie event naturally suggested
the stanza from Aytoun’s “Flodden
Field:’’
"^tll night long the northern fftroamer
Shot *'ro.ni tho trembling Hlty—
Fearful light that Dover glimmers,
Havo when king* ami lion** ilie."

The enduring odor of musk is mar
velous. When Justinian, in 538, re
built what is now mosquo of St So.
phia, the mortar was charged with
musk, and to this day the atmosphere
of tho building is filled with tho
odor.
A farm-hand for harvesting is paid
in central Italy seven cents a day, and
considers himself a fortunate nffl to
find employment at that rate. f
A Now Jersey inventor hns hit upon
fertilizer which he says, any farmer
am easily manufacture for less than
$10 dollars a too, nud get a better ar
ticle than he can pnrehaso for $C0 or
$80. Take a deep layer of mad, pent,
turf, or meadow marl and cover with
one-third qunntity of manure. Sprink
le salt over this, unless the mad has
been gotten from a salt marsh, add a
broad casting of lime, and pour over
tbe whole a weak solution of sulpknric
acid. This process cun be repeated
with successive layera, nnd in n few
weeks the pile will consul of n pliable
black loam, rich enough for com
post.
“Momma, where do the cows get
their milk 7” asked Willie, looking up
from the foaming pan of milk which
ho had been intently regarding.—
Where do you get your tears was
the answer. After a thoughtful si
lence ho again broko oat “Mamins, do
the cows have to be spanked ?’’
Poor Girls.
Tho poorest girls iu tho world are
tliosa wlio have never been taught to
work. There are thousands of thorn.
Rich parents have petted them; they
ltavo been taught to despise labor nnd
ilc|s)tid upon others for n living, nnd
are perfectly helpless. If misfortune
comes npou their friends, ns it often
does, their case is hopeless. The most
forlorn nnd miserable woman on earth
belongs to this class. It belongs to
parents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. Tltoydo
them great wrong if they ncgloct.it.
Every dnuglitt r should be taught to
euru .herown living. The rich us well
as tiro poor require this tmiuiug. I’lic
wheel of fortune rolls swifly round,
the rich are very likely to become poor
aud rich. Skill to labor is no disndvan
tage to tho rich and is indispensablo
to the poor. Well-to do parents must
educate their children to work. No
reform is more imperative than this.
A Colossal Lion.—A colossal lion
will shortly be constructed on the
top of the dnin of Gileppe, iu Bel
gium, which is to consist of two hun
dred and three hugo blocks of stone,
weighing on an average 2,000 to
;,IKH) kilogrammes each. ItB height
will bo about 12.5 metres, and its
length 10 meters. Placed on n ped
estal of gr.iuito 8 metros high, this
monumental lion will bo a conspic
uous object throughout tho valley
of Gileppe. The paws of the animal
will measure 1.4 metres in width,
tho eye. 4, and the nostrils8 metres
each. Behind each daw a man
could cosily hide.
After the Postmasters.—The bill
introduced by Sonator Edmunds, to
prevent abuses iu tbe sale of stamps
and stamped envelopes, provides
that no postmaster, or deputy post
master, or other person entrusted
with stamps or stamped envelopes,
shall dispose of them otherwise than
in the regular coureo of official bus
iness, at tbe faoe value and for cosb.
Violators of the foregoing to bo
deemed guilty of embezzlement, and
punished by a fine not exceeding
$1,000 or by imprisonment not ex
ceeding one year, or both.
The Geological Survey of Geor
gia-—Some of Its Fruit*.
A merchant, who, with a largo
and cosily stock of good, should al
low them to remain in the original
packages without oven taking the
trouble to inquire into tho value or
position of the different articles,
wonld no donbt be generally regar
ded as behaving very strangely, yet
such was.the conduct of Georgia
previous to the commencement of
the Geological survey of the State.
A stranger came to the State seek
ing investment in minernljproperty
or a site for the establishmen of a
cotton factory. He very naturally
wont to the Governor of the State
(or information. Ho inquired where
he would find the richest ores or
tho btst water-power. Tlte Gov
ernor not knowing, he asked who
could give him the information.
The Governor replied ^that there
was no one informed on tho sub
ject. Such was the status of tho
mineral nnd manufacturing resour
ces of tho Stato only a few years
since. How is it now 7 The inqui
rer caD learn more now of the min
eral resources ot Georgia in one
hour spent in the offioe of the Stat e
Geologist than be could in six
months travel over tbe Stato throo
years since. Ho can not learn where
every variety of minoral is fonnd,
but he can ascertain its extent and
quality. Tho goods aro now nil
opened nnd samples arranged on
the sholves for the inspection of the
carious or the customer. The snr-
voy of Northwest Georgia is nearly
completed, and many of the ooanties
prepared. Lt this section there are
175 square miles of carboniferous
formation, 100 miles outcrop of
clinton iron ore three fcot thick,
largo bods of brown hematite, barite,
slate, polishing saudstone, and oxide
of manganese wbichu being worked
tit the rate of CO tons per month,
worth $150 per ton. Asbastusis
being mined in Babun, Habersham,
Hal), Fulton and Troup. From
Bsbum 40 tons per month aro sold
at $50 per ton. In Pickens coanty
there is a large bed of marble. Gold
is fotiud in a number of localities,
nnd 108 stumps ore run in Lump
kin county. Two 20 stamp mills
clear over $1,000 per month. Cop
per is being mined in Haralson aud
Paulding counties.
The tertiary marles ore being
profitably need for agricultural pur
poses in Sohley, Clayton and other
counties. Green sand maria con
taining throe per cent, of potash
has been found in Houston conuty
near Perry, nnd also in the crea-
ceous formation in Stewart oonnty,
the latter iu beds 20 feet thiok.
Wbcn the agricultural value of
theso marls becomes generally
known to tho farmers of Southern
Georgia, they will bo extensively
used, and we predict will revolu
tionize the agriculture of that sec
tion. Tho peavine and marl with
muck will supercede the commer
cial fertilizer to a gruatpextont.
There are fine Baber stones in
Early and other counties in South
west Georgia, nnd iu Burke county,
in East Georgia, which have not yet
been utilized.
All visitors to Atlanta should in
spect tho collection] of tbe Stato
Geologist. Georgians even, know
bat little of Georgia's wealth in un
developed resources.—Southern
Enterprise.
Don’t call the yonog man “cabbage
head;” ho is only high collared.
The Losses poona Strike.—There
is a prospect of tbe total cessation of
the cigar manufacture in New York ■
city until New Year’s. That is to say,
the manufacturers deem it cheaper to
suspend work altogether for two
months than to yield to the striking
workmen in a depressed market. As
an illdstration of the extent of the loos
already sustained, it may be stated that
one wholesale house iu that city holds
unfilled orders for two hundred aud
fifty thousand domestic cigars, omr
awaits the final determination of the
manufacturers before returning them.
