Griffin, of the latter place. Mr. Gar
rett had declined to drink with the
Mayor, while on business, and was
aft eaward insulted when he clinched

Wc had the pleasure of spending two
days last week in this ancient and
elegant city, and were pleased to meet
many old acquaintances.
We have seen very little of Augusta
since the war, and were not aware until
last week that the city had grown and
improved so much. Its commercial
and manufacturing interests are build
ing it up rapidly, and but for the panic,
from which the active business interests
of the country have not yet recovered,
it would have made more rapid ad
vancement within the past year.

The Tax on Theatres—Best Speech of
the Season.
The sapient wiseacres of the Geor
gia Legislature have refused to lighten
the burthens of the people by reducing
their own salaries, but they propose to
make up the difference by putting an
exorbitant tax upon theatres and
other public places of amusement.
The country members who comprise
a large majority, and have no theatres
in their home communities, by this
means propose to deny to the town
people the recreation and pleasure
which their places of amusement afford;
for the legislation proposed, will ex
clude actors and showmen from all
except the 1 rgest cities. Now, we
submit to those Legislators of the
Archibald Evergreen order, that
this discrimination against their
town friends is very unfair as well as
unprofitable. They will not increase
revenues, but will decrease our town
enjoyments. The countryman has his
peculiar pleasures and recreations.—
He can go coon-hunting, ’possum-hunt
ing and fishing. He can rise at early
dawn and blow his bugle horn, and all
the hounds in the neighborhood will
rally to his call, and he can pursue the
weary fox to his lair and worry him
out of the hollow log, and have all
sorts of fun; yea, and cannot the
countryman raise his own barley and
convey it to the hidden still house in
the mountain glen where innocent
spring branch is inveigled into the
stands, and where the sweet mash
is made and the still-beer boiled, and
the nectar of the woodsman is distilled
and drunk—all free of revenue stamps
and other encumbrances—and there
the honest yeoman can get drunk as a
lord without leave, license or tax, or
being locked up in the calaboose. Then
there are the corn-shuckings and quilt
ings, including kissing the gals and
free-fighting. These and many more
are the amusements of the country
man, which are denied the denizens of
the city. For shame! Ye Evergreen
law makers, get down upon your
knees and ask forgiveness for
your pitiful meanness and illiber
ality. Do we ask for a law to abol
ish the corn-shuckings and the corn
dances ? Or have we any objection to
the gal getting kissed who shucks a
red ear? No sir, not even if she be a
red-headed gal, which she ought not,
and she knows she oughn’t. Do we ask
you to abolish the coon hunt, or even
abbreviate the coon-dogs’ tail? No
sir-ee. Do we even ask you to put an
extra tax upon the fox hound or the
pinter pup ? Nary time. Ther abolish
not our theatres and concert halls, our
Punch and Judys and our panoramas,
but let us have what little enjoyment
we can, while we sell you goods and
newspapers on a credit and never get
our pay.
r i he above is the speech we should
have made, had we been 1 here.
Thousands of Horses and Cattl*
Henry Bergh, of New
leik,President of the Society for th©
0f ? uelt y t o in a
card addressed to the editor of the
New York Express , says he is in re
ceipt of information, communicated by
the United States officers in command
at Omaha, to the effect that owing to
the late, ravages of the grasshoppers
in Nebraska, whereby the farming
products of th'at State were destroved
thousands of horses and cattle are
now on the point of starvation. He
earnestly requests all humane persons
to assist him in forwarding, without de
lay, the means necessary to avert so
great a calamity from the laborious
farirers, whose main support these
suffering animals are, by sending dona
tions to his offioe at onoe.

Brown and Butler.
The gentleman was unparliamentary
from the beginning to the end of his
speech, * * * But bofore I sit
down I will show him how to be severe
and parliamentary at the same time,”
said Henry Grattan, in his famous re
ply to Mr. Corry, in the House of Com
mons. There are some nice discrimi
nations to be observed in the reconcili
ation of scathing invective and parlia
mentary law, and the most accom
plished orators are more reckless of
them when attacking than when at
tacked. This same Grattan, when he
emptied his vehement scorn upon Mr.
Flood, did not stop at the line of priv
ilege, but denounced him personally as
guilty of every baseness possible to a
politician, concluding . with the sen
tence: “The merchant may say to
you, the constitutionalist may say to
you ; and I— I now say, and say to your
beard, you are not an honest man! ”
The trouble with Mr. John Young
Brown is that he did not know how to
be severe and parliamentary at the
same time, and in these days, when
our legislative halls are filled with
chevaliers of courtesy, any violation of
the strict proprieties of debate is an
intolerable offense. How great the dif
ference is ’twixt tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee will be seen by a study of
Mr. Butler’s speech and the rulings of
the Speaker on points of order, in com
parison with the speech of Mr. Brown
and the action taken and attempted on
that. Mr. Brown was unparliamentary ;
but there are not a few, even among
those who hate the political school in
which he has been trained, who will
more easily tolerate his lawless invec
tive than Gen. Butler’s parliamentary
and protected slanders of States, par
ties and peoples. That it is the delib
erate purpose of Gen. Butler and those
who train iu his company to taunt and
insult the South to the pitch of exas
peration and overt acts of retaliation,
observant men can hardly doubt. The
danger is that the large body of Repub
licans who sincerely desire peace and
; ustice will too long neglect to rebuke
and repudiate the infernal policy of
provocation upon which a few of their
unscrupulous leaders are bent.
If tkeir conduct should sting some
of the more hot-headed communities
to madness the future historian, calm
ly reviewing these times, would rightly
blame us and not them. If Brown, or
McLean, or any other hot-tempered
Southern member had shot Butler for
his provoking characterization of their
constituents a day or two ago, or his
worse insults of yesterday, we believe
it would have gladdened the hearts of
a reckless faction, who see no way to
perpetuate their power except by kind
ling again the unreasoning passions of
war. The sectional spirit will never be
conquered by sweeping denunciations
of an intelligent population as “ban
ditti, ’ “ murderers,” and “ assassins.”
Gen. Butler has done more within a
week to perpetuate strife and rancor
between the sections and the races
than can be corrected in a generation
without a prompt and decisive repudi
ation of him and his allies.
Let the country bear in mind that he
is already repudiated in Massachusetts,
and let the southern people rest, in the
conviction that this Commonwealth
and the great majority of the northern
people have indicated a strong disap
proval of all his clan. The North
wants peace and good government, and
in this respect is of one mind with the
South. What is now doing is the des
perate throw of political gamblers
struggling for another chance, as re
volting in most particulars to our peo
ple as to theirs. Their day of power to
do mischief is nearly over. Patience, a
short patience now, is the virtue they
and we are called upon to show. The
North cannot be led to a causeless war
for white or black, by any leader,
whatever his rank, his office, or liis
fame.
Type in a Newspaper.
The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an arti
cle on “How Mistakes Happen in
Newspapers,” figures on the number
of types used in a newspaper of the
size of the Eagle at 600,000, the actual
number of bits of metal arranged and
re-arranged every day in preparing a
newspaper the size of the Eagle, which
is about the same size of the Constitu
tionalist, for the press. We suppose
few people think of the printing trade
as the most exact and particular busi
ness, but it is. In making type, varia
tions that might be allowed in the ma
chinery of the finest watch would ren
der the type useless. It is very rarely
that type furnished by two separate
foundries can bo used together with
out a good deal of trouble, though they
try to make it after the same stan
dard. We read once in a while of a
wonderful pie<3e of cabinet work or
mosaic work, containing ten, twenty,
or fifty thousand pieces, the makei
of which has spent months or even
years of labor in producing it, and peo
ple go to see it as a great curiosity, but
the most elaborate and carefully fitted
piece of work of this kind ever made
does not compare with that which the
printer does every day. The man who
does the first is looked upon as an
artistr-a marvel of skill, and if a hun
dred of his pieces are put in wrong
side up, or turned the wrong way, it is
notobserved in the general effect; but
if the printer, in fitting ten times as
many pieces together in the same day,
puts one where another should be, or
turns one the wrong way, everybody
sees it, and is amazed at “ the stupid
carelessness of those stupid printers.”
to short article there are no
less than 1,794 separate pieces of metal.
Blazing with Diamond*.
The Boston Transcript tells this glit
tering story: 0
A. lady blazed all over with diamonds
at a Fifth avenue party last week. On
each shoulder she had four stars, the
size of a dollar, made of diamonds
her hair was set thickly with diamonds’
there was a diamond bandeau on her
brow ; she had diamond ear-rings, and
a diamond necklace ; upon the sides of
her chest were two circles of dia
monds, from which depended lines
and curves of diamonds reaching to
her waist, upon which she wore a dia
mond girdle ; on her skirt in front were
large peacocks wrought in lines of dia
monds ; there were rosettes of dia
monds on her slippers, and diamonds
large and small all over her dress and
person, wherever they could be placed.
This lady’s grandfather was a cartman,
her father a pawnbroker, and her hus
band—well, he lives upon the father.
The old gentleman is worth his mil
lions, and still follows his business and
adds to his store. He is never present
at these parties, though.

ATJGXTST -A, GIA- FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 12, 1875.
[Oincinnati Enquirer.
He Wanted a Cradle, Not a Coffin.
He came into the office of a 'West
End undertaker yesterday with a look
of great care on his honest face. His
eyes were heavy and slightly blood
shot, telling of nightly vigils and loss
°£ s l© e P- His hair was unkempt and
shaggy- The soft-hearted man of coffins
looked upon his visitor with a gaze full
of pity and thankfulness—pity for the
customer’s loss and thankfulness for
his patronage. He was so young to be
burdened with the loss of a dear one
by death.
The manufacturer of burial cases
nodded a silent assent and condoling
recognition ; the young man from the
country said: “How d’ye.?” Then
ensued a painful silence broken at
length by the man of grave business.
“ Can I do anything for you to-dav
sir?” J
“ Wall I reckin’ so, stranger 1”
Another silence. Once more the un
dertaker began by suggesting : “ Your
sister ?”
Young man stared a moment, then,
as a light gradually broke upon his
perplexed mind, ho smiled a smile
more suggestive of sorrow than happi
ness, aud replied:
“ No—my wife.”
“Sudden ?”
“No—expected su’thun’ of the kind
fer several months.”
“ When did it happen ?”
“ ’Bout 4 o’clock this morning.”
“Looks natural?”
“Ratner.” (Spoken carefully, and
expressive of some doubt.)
“ About what do you want the cost
ol it to be ?”
“ Don’t care for expense; git it up
k nder nice. I’ll treat her nandsum,
CE.use she is the first one I ever had.”
“Very well, my friend; you’ll have
it lined with white satin, I suppose?”
“ Jest as you say, stranger.”
“Silver-headed screws, too, I sup
pose?” v
“ Y-a-a-s, I s'pose so. An’, stranger,
jest put a bully top to’t.”
“ Oh, of course; and you’ll wa*nt a
glass in it, I suppose ?”
“ Y-a-a-s—Oh, certainly—you bet.
Git her up sniptious, you know, old
fellow. None of your'dradded one
hoss flxins for me. No, sir’ee.”
“ Just so. Silver handles, of course?”
" Eh ? What’s thet you say, stranger
—silver han-dles? Oh, dura it, now,
won’t thet be pilin’ it on too hefty like?
I kin stand silver screws and sich, but
there’s no use makin’ the hull tarna
tion trap of silver. The thing has to
be moved, and must have handles, but
I ain’t quite so stuck up as thet now—
not quite stranger.”
“Very well,” acquiesced the man of
obsequies. “ I’ll put ordinary handles
to it, then?”
“ Eggs-actly—them’s ’em, mister ;
now yer talkin’. Or’nary handles ’ll
do. But, I say stranger (reflectively),
make the wheels glisten like thunder/’
“ Wh-wh-wh-eels?”
“ Yas, wheels. What’s ther matter
with you anyhow ?”
“But, who ever heard of wheels to a
coffin ?”
“Coffin!” shrieked the dejected
looking young man. “Coffin! Now,
who the dickens said anything about
cuffina?”
“ Why, don’t you want a coffin ?“
“ No-o! I want a cradle—a trap to
rock my new baby in.”
“ And isn’t your wife dead ?”
“ Not by a jugful. Don’t yer make
cradles for sale ?”
“No, my friend, lam an undertak
er.”
“Undertaker of what?”
“ I make coffins.”
“ Oh, Lord, let me ketch the feller
that sent me here 1”
And the grief-stricken youth cram
med his hat over his eyes, ran his
hands deep down in the pockets of his
trowsers, and pounced out on the
streets searching for vengeance.
Railway Receipts in England.— The
railway receipts in the United Kingdom
during the year 1874 reached the enor
mous sum of £55,678,579, equal to
about $278,372,895, and as the whole
length of road reported was 14,587
miles, the average earnings to the mile
were equal to about $19,000. There
was an increase in miles reported of
156, in gross earnings of $6,392,150, and
in receipts per mile of $285. The ex
hibit is, therefore, satisfactory, when
the general stagnation of business is
considered in connection with the fact
that the new roads reported are gen
erally the least productive. The Bos
ton Advertiser says : “ Even the extra
ordinary sum of $19,000 to the mile
does not remunerate a railroad com
pany in England so well as two-thirds
of that amount on the average Ameri
can railroad, the original cost of con
struction making the capital and debt
very much higher than with us.”
Odd-Fellowship.— The Odd-Fellows
iu the United States are a secret bene
ficial society of great numerical,
strength and importance. On Decm
ber 31, 1873, their membership reached
the large aggregate of 414,092, that
being the latest date at which reports
have yet been made. There were at
that time 5,470 lodges in this country,
and during the year ending with that
date 57.212 new members were’ initiat
ed. The revenues of this great or
ganization for 1073 amounted to $3,928,-
696, whilst the large sum of .$1,333,240
was disbursed for relief.
A Sad Accident and a Strange
Dream. —James Brooks, constable at
Clinton, Kansas, accidentally dropped
a loaded revolver, and one barrel was
discharged, the ball passing through
the body of his little son, killing him,
and entering the body of another son,
seven years old, who may recover. A
remarkable incident of the sad affair
is the fact that the night before the
oldest boy, after being put to bed,
awoke in great fright, and coming down
stairs told his father that a neighbor’s
boy had shot him and his little broth
er, and that his brother died, but he
did not.
The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Times relates that Butler’s
desk in the hall of the House, the day
after the vote on the Civil Rights bill,
was adorned with a basket of rare
flowers, upon which was inscribed:
“ J ustice to all is equality before the
law. The country owes you its grati
tude. From ladies in New York.” The
gift was from Butler’s colored lady
friends.
Fruit from “ Rip Van Winkle’s
Farm. —Mr. Joseph Jefferson has re
cently forwarded to a friend in New
York a basket of oranges grown on his
farm, “ Orange Island,” near New Or
leans. Iwo varieties were more especi
ally remarkable for flavor and delicacy
—the “ Brazilian,” grafted on the Lou
isiana sour stock, and the small Man
darin. The latter can be peeled with
out staining a kid glove, and the per
fume and flavor are alike delicious.
