THURSDAY, May 6,
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
The Georgia Teacher’s Convention
met at Griffin yesterday. We quote
from the News of the 4th :
A Concert. —The young ladies of the
college will give a concert at the Sam.
Bailey Institute on Wednesday night,
in honor of our guests, on which occa
sion, by special request, Mrs. Niles will
introduce her new drama.
The addresser welcome to the Teach
ers’ Association will be delivered this
morning at 10 o’clock at the Sam.
Bailey Male Institute by R. H. John
ston, Esq., Mayor Stewart being neces
sarily absent at Merriwether Court.
In behalf of the people of Griffin, we
welcome the members of the “Georgia
Teachers’ Association” to our city. We
invite them to take a good look at our
city, and to make themselves at home
during their stay.
Sumter Republican : The annual con
vocation of the Episcopal Diocese of
the State of Georgia will convene at St.
I 'hilip’s Church, Atlanta, on Thursday,
Gtli inst., the Festival of the Ascension.
The Convocation Sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. G. D. E. Mortimer, of X’s
Church, Savannah. Rev. Mr. Hallam,
Pastor of Calvary Church, in this city,
and Mr. U. B. Harrold leave to-day to
attend the Convocation. We would
suggest Americus as a suitable place
for the next annual meeting.
The teachers commenced arriving on
Sunday last, and all the trains yester
day brought large numbers. On the
up train from Macon was the Hon. A.
H. Stephens, who, refusing the invita
tion of numerous friends to go home
with them, took quarters at Bying
ton’s Hotel, where, after receiving
the congratulations of many friends,
retired to his room for rest and re
pose. The old gentleman somewhat
jaded, looked better than for some time
past. He goes about on his crutches
very well, and bids fair to live many
years longer. His address to the Teach
ers’ Convention will bo one of the
leading features of the occasion. Most
of the teachers have been provided with
quarters at private houses during their
stay in the city, but as others are com
ing in, it is hoped that any of our citi
zens who have accommodations for
them will send in their names to Presi
dent Niles of the Female College, or any
of the teachers in the public schools,
stating how many they can accommo
date.
Rome Commercial : We stated, not
long since, that. Mrs. Sarah Wright was
dangerously ill and but slight hopes
entertained for her recovery. These
slight hopes passed away last Satur
day night, when death summoned her
to the grave, where her daughter had
but recently been carried. Mrs.
Wright, in all probability, died of a
broken heart. When told that her
daughter must dic f grief smote her
such a blow that she never rallied.
Her physician told us that she had no
fever whatever nor any symptons of
sickness She died of grief at the loss
of her daughter to whom she so de
votedly clung. Death to her could not
have been unwelcome, since she, whom
she loved so well, had but a few days
previous passed across the still, dark
waters.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
The Atlanta Herald reports a “ most
novel ” (aad we think very profitless)
lawsuit about to bo commenced. It
arose in this way : After the Constitu
tion had postponed its lottery of last
year once or twice, Col. Alston, of the
Herald , ottered to bet his fine Durham
bull against Col. Clarke’s fine horse
that the drawing would be again post
poned. The Constitution accepted the
bet, and put the bull among the prizes
to be drawn. It drew the lottery on
the day named in the bet, and gave
Mr. Moon, of Athens, an order for the
bull, he having drawn him. But Col.
Alston refused to give up the bull, on
the ground that the Constitution,
though called upon; has failed to show
that it held the lottery and distributed
the prizes according to promise. The
Herald says that Mr. Moon will sue the
Constitution for the value of the bull.
I Special Telegram to the Atlanta News.]
Conyers, May 4 —Robert C. Mayfield,
a young merchant of this place, and
until quite recently a member ot the
firm of 8. Mayfield & Son, committed
suicide by shooting himself with a
pistol this afternoon on Center street.
Young Mayfield had been drinking
for several days, and at the time of the
tragedy was under the influence of
liquor. The deed was done on the
main business street of the town, and
the unfortuuate youth called upon a
friend to witness something—to anoth
er he i emarked that he was going to*
give Conyers a sensation. He aimed
the pistol at his forehead and fired be
fore any one could prevent him. The
ball penetrated the brain ami he Is
now dying. Mayfield was a bright
and promising young man, and had
many friends. The entire community
is thrilled with horror and pity. The
cause of the rash act is unknown.
In addition to the above dispatch
some particulars have been obtained
which throw light on the probable
cause of the rash act. It is stated that
about one year ago he was deceived by
a young woman of Conyers, with whom
he was deeply enamored. His disap
pointment in this love affair affected
him greatly, and he became reckless,
indulging in dissipations and becoming
addicted to hard drinking. He was
probably laboring under momentary
insanity when he committed the rash
act that has (or will) cost him his life.
Previous to his love disappointment
he had been a steady young man.
The Month of May.
Here is what Jack-in-the-pulpit says
in St. Nicholas for May.
This is May, my children, but I’m
not all sure that she will give us Spring
weather. The mouths seem to have a
curious way of swapping weather with
each other. March will borrow some
fine days from May, and then, when
May comes find that she has
taken some of March’s blustering
winds in payment. By the way, the
pretty school-mistress' wrote a very
queer piece about the months one day,
just to amuse the children, as they sat
with her upon the willow stumps in my
meadow. She called it an acrostic. I
couldn’t help learning it by heart, not
because I thought it pretty, nor be
cause it was so queer,but because each
one of her little folks in turn insisted
upon reading it aloud. So you, too,
shall have a chance, my dears:
The Sad. Story of Little Jane.
Jan—e, little saint, was sick and
faint,
Feb—rifuge she had none;
Mar—malado seemed to make her
worse,
Apr—icots were all gone.
May—be, she thought, in some fair
field,
June—berries sweet may grow ;
July—and June, they searched in
vain,
Aug—meuting all her woe.
Sept—imus failed to find a pill—
Oct—oroon slave was he ;
Nov—ice, poor thing, at feeling ill,
Dec—eased ere long was she.
A teacher in the Port Jervis schools
was last week explaining to the child
ren that usually all words ending with
“let” ment something small, as stream
let, rivulet, hamlet, etc., whereupon a
small boy wanted to know if hamlet
meant a small ham!
The Editor’s Bore.
Again I hear the creaking step.
He's rapping at the door!
Too well I know the boding sound
That ushers in a bore
I do not tremble when I meet
The stoutest of my foes.
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes but never goes!
He drops into mv easy chair,
And asks about the news,
He peeps into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where hi likes the line,
And where he’s forced to grieve!
Ho takes the strangest liberties-
He never takes his leave.
He reads my daily papers through
Before I’ve seen a word,
He scans the lyric (that I wrote)-
And thinks if quite absurd.
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And then he asks for more;
He opens everything he soes
Except the entry door.
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me of his pains.
And of a score or more of ills,
Of which he ne’er complains;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the fiend at bay;
On themes like those away lie goes
But never goes away.
He tolls me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And e*ery precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote;
He thinks the writer did me wrong
He’d like to run him through!
He says a thousand pleasant things—
But never says “Adieu!”
Whene’er ho comes, that dreadful man
Disguise it as I may,
I know that like an autumn rain,
He’ll last throughout the day.
In vain I speak of urgent tasks,
In vain I scowl and pout;
A frown is no extinguisher—
It does not put him out!
I mean to take the knocker off;
Put crape upon the door;
Or hint to John that I am gone
To stay a month or more.
I do not tremble when I meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But Heaven derend me from the friend
Who never, never goes.

THE NECESSITY FOB A OYOLOP.EDIA :
Every one that reads, every one that min-
Sjes in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which he needs
and desires further information. In conver
sation, in trade, in professional life, on the
family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,they
are CGBSulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
, But how are these facilities for reference
to be had ? How are the million to pro
cure a Library ? How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point in which they may be interest
ed ; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and politics, literature and
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures 7 How can the working
man hope to bring within his reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment? We answer, by sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently the work
for our country and generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for ever> fact required, without
the certainty of finding it at last. When a
Cyclopaedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary, and verified
i by a comparison of the best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete in all tho depart
j inents of knowledge, a Cyclopteeia, worth
in itself, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within the reach or
all—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanio. In
a country like ours, where the humblest
may be called to responsible positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the value of such a work cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIBRARY.
The “American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library In itself. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of all
books crystalized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnisti pre
cisely the information wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren s wide-eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the family circle an instructive
lesson; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything in
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular thing its owner may
happen to want. It Is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than arc many of
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new type, and illustrated with seve
ral thousand engravings and colored lith
graphic maps. It is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, and will be
completed in sixteen volumes —ten volumes
now ready—which are payable only upon
the delivery of eaoh volume, so that the
cost, which prevents most people from
buying a Cyclopaedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. .It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the first
deliverery; a volume may be delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how much can be spared each
month ? Three dollars a month, which is
only ton cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time of its complet ion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
