THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, APRIL 22T1875?
Georgia State News.
The contribution of Athens to the
cyclone sufferers foots up §492.
And now the country press has taken
up James for Governor, at the low rate
of ten cents a line.
John Bard, son of the Postmaster,
seriously stabbed a son of Mayor
Spencer at a ball in Atlanta.
John L. Hardeman, and Miss Fannie
E. Ross, of Macon, were married on
Tuesday night.
Capt. Wm. S. Davis, formerly of the
second Georgia Regiment, died at Co
lumbus on Monday. He was a grand
son of ex-Governor Schley.
The country residence of Asher
Ayers, of Macon, was destroyed by fire
Sunday night. It was the residence of
Gov. McDonald when he was elected.
Father Hamilton has resigned the
charge of the Catholic Church of Co
lumbus, and will soon leave the State.
It is not stated where he will go.
Ihe ninth annual meeting of Geor
gia Teachers’ Association will be held
at Griffin on the 4th, sth and 6th of
May. We see from the programme
that quite a large amount of work is
cut out for the convention.
The Brunswick Appeal says Mr. Jere
miah Milbank has recovered §65,500 in
the Federal Court at Savannah, from
the “Brunswick Land Company,” for
money advanced to pay taxes, etc., for
the company, and expects the execu
tion will be levied and the property
sold at an early day.
h- Rome has received what is called “a
baby steamboat,” but whether intended
as a Romulus and Remus raft is not
stated. We will announce to the god
dess of the craft, however, that there
is no such thing as a suckling wolf
these days, and, therefore, she had
better raise her own babies.
Columbus Times— On Saturday a lit
tle son of Dr. Tuggle saw a curious
bird in the brick yard, near the South
Commons, and called a negro, who
lived near by, to come and kill him.
The negro shot the bird, and, when ex
amined, he proved to be an aviary cu
riosity, at least, for these parts. He
was about the size of a small hen, and
of a grayish color. The most remarka
ble feature about him was his bill,
which was found to be over ter inches
long and slightly curved. It was
grooved out, and when shut was al
most round. The head was rather
small. The bird was shown to several
sportsmen, who decided that it was a
French curlew. “Wo may never see
his like again.”
The grand jury of Atlanta have found
nearly one hundred true bills against
citizens of that burg for gaming. The
Herald says many "of the best people
are among the unfortunates and that
they are club men. The foreman of
the grand jury lost §35,000 worth of
business in one day and the end is not
not yet. It is also stated that sporting
men are kicking. They say, we are
informed, that to fine them §SOO and
§7,000 per annum apiece, and allowing
these gentlemen gamblers to escape
on a nominal fine without costs, is a
distinction without a difference, especi
ally when Judge Hopkins has publicly
declared that a gentleman that plays
cards in his private parlor for money
is as culpable as the faro dealer or the
roulette caller.
The Rome Commercial gives a few
additional particulars of the burning
of Trion Factory. The property burn
ed was insured for §35,000. The loss
sustained was about §150,000, which
falls equally upon Judge Allgood and
his father-in-law, Mr. Spencer Marsh.
There were in the factory 6,000 spindles
and 215 looms. There were employed
in the factory 350 workmen, whose
families made a population of about
750 souls. These 750 people were en
tirely dependent upon Trion Factory
for a support. It must be the source
of a horrible remorse to have the suf
fering faces of the hard working men,
with those of their wives and little
ones, haunting all the after life of the
wretch who put the match to this
building, to gratify some petty re
venge.
At Rutledge, on Friday evening last,
some children who reside in the town
of Rutledge went out into the woods to
look after a calf, returned about sun
set and reported that they saw some
negroes skinning a yearling in the
woods. About dark several men with
guns went out to look for the negroes,
some going one way and some another,
when one of the party named Shine
Hanner came upon, or in sight of, some
persons whom he took for the negroes,
and fired upon them with buck-shot,
about one hundred yards distant, and
lodged fifteen shot into Mr. Nunn,
seriously wounding him, and shooting
his little son through the thumb, and
putting two shots through both legs,
just below the hips, of a young man
named Wages, very badly wounding
him. Nunn is in a critical condi
tion, but probably not fatally wounded.
A Rattling Fire at Gov. Bard.
(St. Louis Times.)
The original “third term” man is
said to be Sam Bard, of Georgia. If
he should ever visit St. Louis, Col. Con.
Maguire would kill him with the great
est pleasure.
(Washington Star.)
“Guvn’r” Sam Bard has chartered
seat “A,” section 2, near the water cool
er in the ante-room of the White
House. The seat will not be vacant
until he arrives at some understanding
with the “old man” as to what he shall
do in the future. He is still President
of the Third Term Club.
(Boston Transcript.)
Sam Bard, who publishes a paper at
Atlanta, Ga., claimed to have been the
first to nominate Grant for a third
term, and was appointed postmaster.
Yesterday he was removed from office
for neglect of his duties, and it is
thought in Wsshington his neglect
must have been flagrant.
(New York Herald.)
Bard, of Georgia, was “ too unani
mous.” That is the way they put it at
Washington. Therefore his head is in
the basket. He was too desperately
fond of a third term and made too
much noise about it. He was a lieu
tenant of a company and was deter
mined to shew his zeal by forcing a
general action at a moment when the
commander-in-chief was not ready for
battle. His summary execution will
moderate the dangerous zeal of other
lieutenants.
hen a man hands an editor an
article for publication, and asks him to
fix it up because he “ wrote it in a
hurry, and “ hadn’t time to revise it ”
you may know that he commenced the
article directly after supper, and
wrestled with it until after midnight
rewriting it fourtsen times, destroying
a quire of foolscap, and “ blessed ” his
pen every two minutes. That’s the
way they generally write an article
when they are “ in a hurry ” and have
“ no time to revise it.”
Everybody does not worship Mam
mon with an exclusive idolatry. A
gentleman attached to the intellectual
department of a New York journal has
just broken off his engagement with an
heiress because he caught her scratch
ing her head at the dinner table with
the handle of her fork.
Paul Revere’s Ride.
BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW.
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year
He said to his friend, “If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night.
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of tne North Church tower as a signal
light—
One, if by land, ami two, if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm.”
ihen he said “Good Night!” and with
muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where, swinging wide at her moorings,
lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar.
And the huge black hulk, that was mag
nified
By its own reflection in the tide.
Meanwhile, his friend, through alley and
street,
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him ne hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers,
Marching down to their boats on the shore.
When he climbed the tower of Old North
Church,
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry chamber overhead.
And started the pigeons from their perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him
made
Masses and moving shapes of shade,—
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the town,
And the moonlight flowing over all.
Beneath, in the church-yard, lay the dead
In their night-encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could heaf, like a sentinel’s tread
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Greening along from tent to tent.
And seeming to whisper, “Ail is well!”
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret
Uread
Of the Jonely belfry and the dead ;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away.
Where the river widens to meet the bay,—
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats.
Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse’s side,
Now gazed at the landscape far and near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth
And turned and tightened his saddle-girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry tower of the Old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still,
And lo! as ho looks, on the belfry’s height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he
turns,
But lingers and gazes till full on his sight
A second lam]) in the belfry burns!
A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk In the
dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing,
a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and
fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the gloom
and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by tnat steed in
his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the
'steep,
And beneath him, tranquil, and broad, and
deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders, that skirt its edge,
Now soft ®n the sand, now loud on the
ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as ho rides.
It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge Into Medford
) town.
He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer’s dog.
And felt the damp of the river fog,
That rises after the sun goes down.
It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, blank and
bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.
It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge In Concord
town.
He heard the bleating of the flock.
And the twitter of the birds among the
trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket-ball.
You know the rest. In the books you have
read,
How the British regulars fired and fled,—
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farm-yard
wall,
Chasing the red-coats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of
alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,—
A cry of defence and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the
door,
And a word that shall echo forevermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear.
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

SHADINES !
FIVE years since, after previous years
of experience, in the propagation and
preservation of SHADINES, or young
Shad, we first introduced our fish to the
American people.
Sliadines are put up In hermetically seal
ed tin boxes, perfectly boneless, in a mild,
pleasing, appetizing sauce, palatable to all,
free from oil—so objectionable in sardines—
retaining only the natural richness of the
Shad, and ready for the table at all times,
for dinner, lunch or evening meal, by
merely opening the box. Many complaints
having been made that irresponsible par
ties are palming off American Club Fish
alms Ocean Trout, for Shadines, customers
will bear in mind we are the original and
only packers of Shadines, and every genu
ine box has the letters H. fc C. pressed on
each side. HOOPE <fc CO.,

(Patented.)
I CLAIM for the above Fertilizer that it Is
richer in the elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Di'.Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. I claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because in each pound
of it there is as much valuable material as
in two Dounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT IS DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

W. O. Busey, Esq., Ailten, S. C.:
Dear Sir : Yours of the 2Gth at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think I gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same. 1 thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

Gunns Mills, Ga., January 26th, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.:
Sir : I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,”
and in reply will say I used it on my last
year's crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. le.m satisfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the pi'esent year.
Respectfully, _ „
B. E. BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga., January 27th, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.:
Dear Sib: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel <fc Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land 1 made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel
A Rowland.
Augusta, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. G.
Dear Sir: In reply to your inquiry as
to the effect of your “EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was tour
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sib: 1 used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Wabrknton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. W. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Gunao
bought of Daniel & Rowland— 1 BUSEY’S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if I can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any 1 have ever tried. Respectfully,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This Is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since the war.

Dear Sir : I used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. F. HUBERT.
Barnett, Ga., January 29, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir: I consider your “EXCEL
SIOR GUANO ” a most excellent manure.
Yours, truly, etc.,

Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sib: Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. 1
used last year one ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not the
best l have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
W. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir ; Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is at hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tes-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
in .this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, 1 feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
ALLEN.
Thomson, Ga., January 20, 1875.
Mr. W. G. Busey.
Dear Sir : The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, &c.
