Hon. E. H. Paine, of Louisville, has
purchased the “Bullock” farm in Cobb
county, for §11,700. He will live upon

Rufus B. to Georgia.
The Putnam Rifles have joined the

forty-seven years ago, and whom for
many years he had mourned as dead.
Hon. Henry R. Harris, of Greenville,
has been selected to deliver the alumni
oration at Emory College next year,
with Rev. John W. Heidt, Presiding
Elder of the LaGrange District, as al
ternate. Good selections, both.
Atlanta Herald; Mrs. M. J. Casey,
wife of the Mr. Casey who was killed
by Purifoy, was married Thursday
night to Mr. P. M. Wagner, a planter of
Jasper county. We understand they
intend to move to Jasper county to re

LaGrange Reporter: We learn that
Hon. B. H. Hill will be the leading
counsel for the otate in the prosecution
of I*. S. Morrison, who recently shot
and killed Mr. Wash Mobley, of this
county. Thos. B. Stubbs, Esq., will as

Atlanta Constitution : Governor
Smith and the Comptroller-General
have made the rate of taxation this
year live-tenths of one per cent, or fifty
cents on every hundred dollars. The
rate last year was four-tenths of one
per cent. *or forty cents on every hun
dred dollars.
Bill Arp takes his pen in hand to in
form Rome that at Catoosa the chil
dren eat first, and regrets that this
plan was not fashionable forty years
ago. Of the efficacy of Catoosa he
thus certifies : “Mr. Pyle told me to
day he and his wife had been in the
family business twenty-two years, and
had ten children betwixt ’em, and had
never been out but two dollars for doc
tors’ bills ; and I asked him if he didn’t
live by a spring, and he said yes. Well,
you see, everybody can’t have a spring,
and therefore the necessity of going to
them occasionally, just to get out of
the old ruts, and to be renewed, resur
rected, rejuvenated.”
It is astonishing what men will re
sort to sometimes to get whiskey, as
witness the following, told by the Haw
kinsviile Dispatch : Mr. Wm. Wynne,
of this county, while seining for fish
last Wednesday, was bitten on the
hand by a moccasin. He was feeling
for a fish and got hold of the snake,
and, on withdrawing his hand, the rep
tile bit him. Mr. Wynne tried the lol
lowing remedy with perfect success :
First, porded the arm above the bite ;
second, Applied an onion poultice;
third, sent to town and got a gallon of
good whiskey, such as Aaron Lowe and
Toad McCormick keep for the purpose.
No further danger.
Macon Telegraph: Mr. D. W. Parr, of
Parr, Tooke & Cos., proprietors of the
Houston factory, died this morning at
8 o’clock, from the effects of a large
dose of morphine taken by mistake.
On Thursday afternoon he complained
of feeling unwell and went to his room
to take a dose of quinine, but through
mistake took about sixty grains of mor
phine, which resulted in his untimely
death. Mr. Parr was a man highly
esteemed by the people of Houston
county, and deeply do they mourn the
loss of so good and influential a citi
zen. He was in every respect an ex
emplary man—a consistent member of
the Methodist church, and a man of
immense energy and persevereuce. He
was buried this evening.
Louisville News: On Sabbath, when
Mr. Jesse Beall and family were at
church, a messenger brought to them
the unwelcome news that his buildings
were on fire. He hastened home to find
his kitchen already consumed, and his
smokehouse beyond the means of res
cue and extinguishment. The fowl
house soon caught and burned down.
This ended the conflagration as far as
regarded Mr. Beall’s place, but, strange
to state, the woods caught fire one half
a mile from the burning house. It was
in a direct line to Mr. Chambers Flem
ing’s field, and nothing to intercept the
flames. Two hundred pannels of his
fence were burned down before the fire
was checked. Everything was very
dry owing to the time of year and
drought, and the work of the fire fiend
was as rapid as it was destructive.
Rome Commercial: An unfriendly
feeling existed between the guard over
the convicts employed at the Ridge
Valley Iron Works, and a Mr. Under
wood who lived near by. Night before
last someone went to a house of ill
fame in the the neighborhood, and
while there “kicked up a row” and tore
the boarding off from one side of the
house. It appeared that the guard
yesterday morning accused Underwood
of being the party who went to the lewd
house and committed the depredations;
and these two, Underwood and the
guard, got into a quarrel about the
matter. Just at this moment Saxon
passed by, and when near Underwood,
the guard raised his gun and fired, the
ball striking Saxon in the head and
killing him instantly. The guard claims
that he unintentionally shot Saxon,
having really fired at Underwood. He
did net attempt to escape. At last ac
counts he had not been arrested.
A correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph thus speaks of the Indian Spring
and the Collier House: It is universally
conceded to be the dullest place any
where outside of Okeefeenokee swamp.
* * The only unpleasant feature
connected with the culinary is the
enormous number of flies abounding
in, the kitchen and dining rooms.
Their names is legion. They have a
disgraceful habit of falling into your
tea, the butter and the sugar. And the
syrup pitcher and the mustard cruets
seem to be a place of general resort
and battle ground, judging from the
number slain lying therein. The
rooms, though small, are com-
paratively well ventilated, and when
there is any breeze the oocu
pant gets the benefit of it. The
furniture is indeed poor, not a rocking
chair, as there should be, to each room
occupied by a lady, and more espe
cially if she has a sick infant; no bu
reaus or wardrobes, I dare say there
are not a dozen wardrobes and bureaus
in both hotels, consequently the ladies
are compelled to make their trunks do
duty as a common receptacle for their
entire wardrobe. To make their toilet
and do up their back hair, they are
to the circumscribed space of a
glass ten by twelve inches, suspended
from the wall. The beds are small,
and of the rudest, cheapest pattern,
but the bedding is fair. The walks to
and from the spring are steep, rocky
and dirty, and iu wet weather are un
pleasantly muddy.
The average Brooklyn lodger does
not hunt through his soup for chicken
any more, but, glancing sadly up into
the landady’s face, timidly asks, "Are
you quite sure you dipped any feathers
jc this water.”
THE BYRON MEMORIAL.
The London Movement to Honor the
Great Bard—Speech of Mr. Disra
eli.
[London Times.)
Mr. Disraeli, on rising to open the
proceedings, was loudly cheered. He
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen —l am happy
to meet for the first time the members
of the committee who have before con
sulted on the subject which will engage
our attention to-day. But, before we
do so, I wish to take this opportunity
of attempting to draw your minds to
the contemplation of the real object
which we have before us. In the twelfth
year of this century a poem was pub
lished by a young man who instantly
commanded the sympathies of the na
tion. There is no instance in literary
records of a success so sudden and so
lasting. To use his own words, he
“awoke one morning and found him
self famous.” From that time for
twelve years he poured out a series of
complete inventions, which are not
equalled for their number and their
consistency of purpose in the litera
ture of any country, ancient or mod
ern. [Cheers.] Admirable for many
qualities, for their picturesque
ness, their wit, their passion—
they are most distinguished by their
power of expression and by the sub
lime energy of their imagination,
j Cheers.] And then, after these twelve
years, he died. He died, I say, in the
fullness of his fame, having enjoyed in
his lifetime, a degree of celebrity which .
has never fallen to the lot of any other
literary mau —not only admired in his
own contry, but reverenced and adored
in Europe. [Cheers.] How is it, then,
that after a century has elapsed, we
are met here for the first time in pub
lic meeting to devise some means of a
national expression of admiration and
gratitude to qualities so transcendant ?
It has been said as some reason for
this strange and dark neglect that the
private character of this poet was not
as iliustious as his public one. When
half a century has elapsed private
character is scarcely an element in the
estimate of literary genius. [Cheers. [
But of his private character it may be
said that it was ambiguous, and that
of it little is clearly known; and there
is no man in this room—aye, I would
say even in this country—that upon
that subject can presume to give a de
finite and precise opinion. |Loud
cheers.] But then it was said, as
another excuse, that his works were
deficient in morality, and that he in
dulged in too frequent speculation on
those subjects which the human mind
can never penetrate, but which it is
organically formed to reverence. And
yet it must be remembered that he was
born in an age of contracted sympa
thies and restricted thought, and that
much which he then questioned has
since been surrendered. [Cheers.] If
lie fell, which he undoubtedly did, into
many erroneous conclusions upon di
vine subjects, it may be urged for him
that he was very young. I remember
once Lord Lyndhurst discussing the
character and career of Mr. Canning,
and then asking someone who was
present what was the precise age at
which Mr. Canning died. He was told
that he died at the age of fifty-six.
“What,” said Lord Lyndhurst, then
advanced in life, but yet in the fulness
of his complete capacity, “only fifty
six; why he was a mere boy.” [A laugh.]
But we must reinerrfber that when
Byron died he was twenty years
younger that Mr. Canning, and in any
speculations upon his character and
career this element in that wonder
ful character and marvellous career
snould never be omitted. It should
always be remembered, I say, that
we are speculating on the life of
one who, like those whom the gods
love, died young. [Cheers.] During
these fifty years that have elapsed,
and during which no public meeting
has ever been called to recognize his
merits, a chorus of poetasters have un
ceasingly worked to decry his abilities
and ultimately even to deuy his genius.
i Cheers.] No one who has traveled in
Ireece can ever question for a mo
ment the place of Byron as a poet of
the highest class. He has impressed
his mind on that country more than
any poet who had existence since Ho
mer. [Cheers,] There is not a cape,
a promontory or a column that he has
not touched with the fire or suffused
with the sweetness of his song. If you
follow him in his Italian residence,
you will find that Italy was to him a
source of scarcely inferior inspiration.
But the last and greatest of his works
does not depend upon local interest. It
will remain, as it is now recognized, an
unexampled picture of human nature
and a triumphant effort of the English
tongue. [Cheers.] We are met here,
then, to-day, at last to do some
justice to one of the greatest
of England’s sons. [Cheers.] What
form your feelings should take,
it will be for you to decide.—
You know, and you will know more as
these proceeings continue, what has
been attempted. I can unaffectedly
apologize for not having taken any
part in the previous proceedings. My
life is a busy and an urgent one, and I
could only lend to the committee the
depth of my sympathy. [Cheers.]
But when I saw in the movement re
specting a tablet that it was sanctioned
by the presence and the active inter
position of one who had the nearest
and proudest claim to interpose in such
a business —I mean the son-in-law of
Lord Byron [cheers], who more than
forty years ago was my companion in
that Albania which Byron celebrated—
I felt that it was under the influence
of kind and able counsels. For myself,
though I presume not to dictate to this
assembly what form their feelings
should assume in this respect, I will
express my individual desire to see in
some public place a semblance of this
great spirit, so that the English people
when they pass shall recognize one of
the greatest masters of the English
language. [Loud cheers.]
Byron's Tomb.
[London Times.]
La ly Anne Blunt asks us to insert
the following correspondence between
Mr. Disraeli, as President of the ‘‘By
ron Memorial Committee,” and her
self :
Cbabbet, July 5.
Sib : I take the liberty of writing to
you on a subject iu which you are at
least nominally interested—the “Byron
Memorial Committee.” I see by an ad
vertisement in the Times that at a gen
eral meeting, held on Wednesday last,
the committee, in your absence, passed,
among others, the following resolution :
“That a slab be placed over Lord By
ron's grave in the chanGel of Hucknall
Torkard Church,” The presence of
Lord Lovelace at the meeting, and his
apparent approval of this proposal,
has no doubt caused the impression
that such a proceeding would be grati
fying to the descendants and other near
relations of the poet. I am sure you
will not misunderstand me if I teU you
that the yery reverse jis the ease. The
view taken of this matter by Bord
Wentworth and myself, his grandchil
dren, by Miss Leigh, his niece, and I
believe by others of the family, I will
endeavor to express.
We have not forgotten that when
Lord Byron’s remains were refused a
resting place In Westminister Abbey ;
that it was left to his sister, Mrs. Leigh,
Who loyed him best—to bury him, and
that together they placed a tablet to
his memory. their affection then
deemed suitable we will still hold to be
enough, nor can we think that the ad
dition of a slab placed by subscription
in Hucknall Church would add any
thing to the dignity of the poet’s
tomb. At least, it is not for the pub
lic which denied a worthier grave to
take now, after fifty years, unasking,
from his family the guardianship of
their dead.
I am sure that if the committee had
been made aware of this they would not
have passed the resolution of which
we object; but, unfortunately, the op
portunity was not offered to us of ex
pressing our feeling to them. I ven
ture, however, to hope that you will
not refuse me your assistance in pri
vately pointing out this aspect of the
affair to the committee, and so render
it unnecessary for me to appear pub
licly in a matter which my brother’s
absence from England leaves me the
responsibility of dealing with.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Anne Isabella Noel Blunt.
To the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M. P.
10 Downing Street, Whitehall, {
July 7. [
Madam: Mr. Disraeli desires me to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter
of the sth inst., with reference to Lord
Byron’s memorial.
I have the honor to be, madame,
your obedient servant,
Mrs. Blunt. A. Turnor.
To the Editor of the Times:
Sir: The Byron Memorial Commit
tee have decided to place au inscrip
tion upon the poet’s grave in Hucknall
Churchyard, where his remains lie by
the side of his mother’s in the family
vault. One of his relations has ex
pressed decided disapproval of this
proceeding, on grounds which to most
people who pay attention to the sub
ject will seem very reasonable. Should
not the frequently expressed wishes
and opinions of the poet himself be
allowed some weight in deciding the
question?
Of the will which he made in 1811,
the concluding clause is as follows:
I desire that my body may be buried
in the vault of the garden of Newstead,
without any ceremony or burial ser
vices whatever, and that no inscription
save my name and age be written on
the tomb or tablet. To the perform
ance of this my particular desire I rely
on the attention of my executors.
In 1819, after visiting the Certoso
Cemetery at Ferrara, he writes in a let
ter to Mr. Murray:
Some of the epitaphs at Ferrara pleased
me more than the more splendid monu
ments at Bologna; for instance:
‘ Martini Luigi,
“Implora pace.
“Lucrezia Picini,
“Implora eterna quiote.”
Can anything be more full of pathos?
These few words say all that can be said or
sought. The dead had had enough of life,
all they wanted was rest, and this they im
plore There is all the helplessness and
humble hope and deathlike prayer that can
arise from the grave—“implora pace.” I
hope whoever may survive me, and shall
see me put in the foreigners’ burying
ground at the Lido, within the fortress by
the Adriatic, will see those two words, and
no more, put over me.”
If it was impossible to comply with
the letter of these instructions, surely
their spirit should be respected. Time
can neither lessen nor increase the ven
eration which they ought ever to com
mand. Many passages in his poems
express similar sentiments on the sub
ject, none more plainly than the oft
quoted lines in “The Hours of Idle
ness ;”
Oh! may niv shade behold no sculptured
urns.
To mark the spot where earth to e irth re
turns !
No lengthen’d scroll, no praisc-encumber’d
stone;
My epitaph shall be my name alone.
Shelley, in his Elegy on the death of
Keats, refers very beautifully to Byron
as
The pilgrim of eternity, whose fame
Over his living head like heaven is bent,
An early but enduring monument,
Came veiling all the lightnings of his song
In sorrow,
Of illustrious men th 6 whole earth is
the tomb, and no addition can be made
to Byron’s fame, nor vypuld any real re
spect be shown to his memory by
placing a slab over his grave fifty-one
years after his death. Such a direct
disregard of his evident wishes would
be rather an insult to his memory thau
a tribute of honor, to render which at
all worthy of his great name, it should
certainly not be private but public, not
local, but, in the fuller of the
word, national. I am, sir, your obe
dient servant,
The Son of One of Bvron’s Friends.
July 10.
To the Editor of the Times:
Sir: Lord Byron having spoken for
himself on the subject of his monu
ment, surely it would be better to -let
his own wish be fulfilled. He says,
“My monument shall be my name
alone.” Yours most obediently,
One Who Attended His Funeral.
July 13.
A Court 1,000 Years Old Closes its
Doors Forever. —On July 6th an au
gust and ancient tribunal, the most so
of any save the High Court of Parlia
ment, virtually ceased to exist. On that
day the Court of Queen’s Bench, which
represents a tribunal held before the
King at least a thousand years ago, sat
for the last time, and will probably
never sit again. It is a curious circum
stance that, reckoning from the acces
sion of Aifred, in 871 —the earliest date
at which such a jurisdiction can be
shown to have been exercised —to the
year 1870, when the original of the ju
dicature act which abolished it was in
troduced, just 1,000 years should have
elapsed. To Sir Alexander Cockburn,
certainly in many respects not the
least distinguished of the series,
belongs to him the melancholy
distinction of being the last Lord
Chief Justice of England. The
jurisdiction of the court, it is true,
is preserved by the judicature act, and
is vested in a division of the high court
of judicature. And its peculiar juris
diction is vested in that division exclu
sively. But as that great court, which
has existed ever since the conquest as
a distinct and separate tribunal, with
that high and lofty jurisdiction which
could originally only be exercised by
the King in person, and was so exercis
ed ever since the time of Alfred, as that
great oourt of the King, inferior only
to Parliament in greatness and dignity,
its history has closed. It has, howev
er, a great history —a history of ten
centuries’ duration, closely connected
with the constitution of the country
through a long succession of ages, and
associated with a series of great names
and historic, often tragic, events. — Loti?

It is not generally known that the
fair songstress, Miss Annie Louise
Cary, was a few years ago engaged to
be married to n wealthy gentleman in
Philadelphia. Everything seemed pro
pitious, until a small cloud begau to
lower o the horizon of the lovers.
Miss Cary's voipe being pontralto, she
took the page's part in the opera,
Mr. h found his fastidious taste
shocked thereby. He demanded of the
lady that she give up the distasteful
role, but she, having made her engage
men ja fpr the Winter, considered it
impossible to comply with his wishes.
He was obdurate. He would not have
a wife who appeared in public in mas
culine habiliments; and she, thinking
doubtless of the we}l known proverb
concerning the fish in the sea, oanm tq
the conclusion that it was better to
give up her private than her public en
gagement—^which, accordingly, she did.
Mr. H is still unmarried. He has
influential relatives residing in this
this city,
Kisses.
BY AN OLD BACHELOR.
Sitting to-night in my chamber,
A bachelor rigid and lonely,
I kiss the end of my pipe stem—
That, and that only.
Reveries rise with smoke wreaths,
Memories tender surround me;
Girls that are married or buried
Gather around me.
School girls in pantalettes romping,
Girls that have grown to misses;
Girls that liked to be kissed, and
Like to give kisses.
Kisses—well 1 remember them!
Those in the corner were fleetest;
Sweet were those “on the sly,” in the
Dark were the sweetest.
Anna has gone on a mission
Off to the South Sea sinners;
Nell is a widow, keeps boarders, and
Cooks her own dinners.
Charlotte, and Susan, and Pattie,
Mary, Jane, Lu :y and Maggie;
Four are married and plump, two
Maiden and scraggy.
Thus I sit smoking and thinking,
A bachelor rigid and lonely;
I kiss the end of m y pipe stem—
That, and that only.

Silence.
In silence, mighty things are wrought,
Silently builded, thought on thought;
Truth’s temples greet the sky.
And like a citadel with towers,
The soul with her subservient powers,
Is strengthened silently.
Soundless as chariots on the snow,
'J he saplings of the forest grow
To trees of mighty girth.
Each mighty star in silence turns
The axle of the earth.
The silent frost with mighty hands,
Fetter s the rivers of the lan 1
With universal chain.
And, smitten by the silent sun,
The chain is loosed, the rivers run,
The lands are free again.

lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then Unished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATEN T EVEN^R
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this Evoner, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
4®*There is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mills at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester,
Lewiston. Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. j
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen : I have been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the Cotton Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
a"y opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We h ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted ; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty agaiustfire. . . . (
Yours, &c.. M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
