sujray LOCAL mention. r Ova young Wend, P. O. Harper Jr., is die- censing ice, aoda water, ice cream, lemonade, fraitiTand a great varietyof good things, at 118 Whitehall street. Give him a call. Texnks to onr popular and efficient State Treasurer, CoL J. W. Beniroe, for his pamphlet report of the fiscal year ending December 31st, 1877. Aekassxs Hot Spbings in Atlanta. Dr. Wilson, of Turkish Bath renown, wishes the people to understand that he can now give them the Hot SpriDgs mineral water of natural elem ents and temperature, here in Atlanta, and there is no use in spending money to go to Arkansas. He combines this with his famous Turkish Baths and guarantees a cure in all diseases for which the Hot Springs are resorted to, in less time and at less cost. The Dull Green House, at Dalton, 3-his wfc n known hotel and railroad eat ing house is neatly lurnished, and fitted up with the view of offering to the traveling pub lic the most convenient and desirable accom modations. Well ventilated rooms, clean and comforta ble beds and first-class fare, a speciality. Bath-rocms, barber-shop, also a first-class livery stable in connection, for which reduced rates will be given to patrons of the house. Commercial men will find this to be the best hotel in North Georgia. Give us a call and be convinced of the fact. Polite and attentive porters attend every train, Mr. J. C. Rudd, proprietor, and W. H. Budd, clerk, are courteous and obliging, and make every guest feel at home. i Prof. Land's Lecture.—A fine audi ence greeted Prof. Land on his first appearance as a lecturer, and though the matter and style of the lecture was not what was expected, yet it was interesting and instructive. He made a great mistake, however, in not preparing him self so as to dispense with his manuscript, for in failing to do so, he failed to hold his hearers, A lecture of that character, to be popular, should be sprightly, and delivered in a ready and ani mated manner. It being the first of a contem plated series of scientific lectures to be given by the Professor, he confined himself to the first or rudimentary principles of electricity and magnetism. He has a fine reputation as an analytical chemist, and impresses every one as being an earnest and conscientious student of Science and the laws of Nature. The Liberal and Scientific Association, under whose auspices this leoture was given, realized largely from the admission fees. Reward for Gallantry. The following sufficiently explains itself— a reporter having obtained the copy from a friend of the gentleman addressed. The Texas Lxtbess Company, Office or Sec- betaky and Tbeasubeb, Memphis, Tenn, May 10.—Mr. J. L. A. Thomas, Messenger—Dear Sir: 1 send you by to-day’B express a copy of resolutions adopted by the board of directors of this company, at its recent meeting in New Orleans, recognizing your fidelity to the com pany’s interest and yonr courage in defense of the same on the occasion of the attack by rob bers npon the train on which yon were messen ger at Allen’B station, Texas, on February last, and 1 also enclose yon a draft on the auditor, for the sum of two hundred dollars, as a far ther evidence of the company’s appreciation of yonr conduct on the occasion before refer red to. Chas. L. Loop, Secretary and Treasurer. Arkansas is the Land of Promise. — Even now the poor settler might well establish himself by making and curing hay for ship ment and nse on these natural meadows. White river is crossed at Duvall s Bluff—a fine town, the Bite of which will be remembered as the scene of some hard fighting during the “late unpleasantness." Too much oannot be said of this noble river, and the productiveness of its apjacent valley, and the excellence of its navi gation. It is a common expression umong trav elers that “the White is the best river in the State." Supplies of ship and btave timber ap parently exhaustless are found on its banks. It is the great natural channel of transportation lor all Northeastern Arkansas, and will one day contribute to the emolument of prond cities and flourishing communities. ‘the The Omaha .Republican thinks Grant coming man.” There will be a saloon and drinking room at tached to Stewart’s men’s hotel, Dio Lewis’ life is despaired of and he has taken to eating something stronger than oatmeal porridge. Senator John B. Gordon will deliver the Fourth of July oration at Evansville, Indiana. Mr. Hayes will be present. Young ladies if you must wear pins in the back of your drebses at a dance, put them in ■with the points towards the left. No charge! riumas ( Cal) Rational. •I own a farm with four oil wells on it!’ cried an old woman when she fell on the streets of Pittsburg, and fifty men at once rushed to her assistance. Capital will tell. ‘Madam did you ever lift a dog by the tail ?’ ‘Why, no, you cruel thing, you!’ ‘I didn’t know, because I just saw you carry your child across the gutter by one arm.’ SayB the St. Louis Journal: ‘The theatrical season is closed, and we shall hear such words as ‘rendered,’ ‘role,’ ‘repertoire,’ artiste,’ ‘pains taking,’ ‘entr’acte,’ ‘modulation,’ ‘graceful pre sentation,’ ‘as an entirety, etc, etc. no more for four long months.’ A little boy ran away from home, and while enjoying himself in forbidden fields, a thunder storm ctme np, and it began to hail. His guilty conscience needed no accuser. Banning home he burst into the presence of his astonished mamma, exclaiming breathlessly: “Ma, ma, God’s trowing stones at me !” People desiring to communicate with the edi tor will please speak into the phonograph at the door, not forgetting to end the communication with the pronunciation of their names—not necessary for publication, but as an evidence of good faith. The phonograph will be turned np down, like a trombone in an orchestra, two .hours.] Glimpses at Dahlonega. Summer Visitors—’The North Georgia Agricul tural Coellege—The Up Country-Folks. As the summer advances Dahlonega beoomes more stirring, expectant of its crowds of visit ors, and there are unusual signs of activity and progression. Like the flowers upon its hills it lies dormant during the cold winter, and springs forth into new life in the spring. Just at this time we are in a bustle of pleasurable anticipation. The commencement of the col lege is not far off, and every one is already bu sily preparing to entertain the many visitors expected at that time. This year we will see the first class graduate since the beginning of the school. Of course this lends a new inter est, and the novelty of it consists, perhaps, in the fact that a young lady of about 18 years will graduate with her class of about 11 young men, having taken with them a regular course in all branches. The school is unusually large, but owing to the scarcity of means it has not been advertis ed very widely, and yet during the last schol astic year 300 students were enrolled. For these 300 boys (of coarse not all here together, the roll numbering this session 200 or more) there are only five teachers, besides the prima ry department. The amount of work done by these gentlemen cannot be questioned. The college is unable to employ other teachers. The legislature will not assist it, Athens seems afraid to do so, fearing that the money may prove wrongly invested. The President receives $1,- 500, per year, the other Professors receive a salary of $800. The commanding officer of cadets receives from the government $1,900. See the difference! Athens gives two thousand to each professor. Here the school opens in the morning at 8 o’clock. For five consecutive hours classes of all grades, some numbering 50 or more, are taught earnestly, diligently. And still in the afternoon for two or three hours, the same hea vy work. The same enormous routine for ten months in the year, is an awful strain. If it were not that the young men are bo studious, so anxious to 1< arn, nothing, or comparatively nothing, ci uld be accomplished. Is it so in any other school in the state ? I have never heard of it The school is developing this section of the oountry finely. Some of the wealthiest of the farmers are much preju diced, however, and will not take advantage of the opportunities it holds out. It is a charac teristic of the country people in this section, that they are peculiarly sensitive. They seem to shrink within themselves whenever they are brought within higher influences. They are prejudiced, too, against what they term “low country folks,” who seem to them very haughty and overbearing. They feel keenly the difference between them. I am speaking of the more educated portion. Those whose only opportunities for learning are af forded by the common school system, are too ignorant to be troubled by any ideas of this kind. I have ever found, however, that they are remarkably hospitable and kind. Their innate sense of what “looks well” is in strong contrast to their own “outre” style of dress. They are very ready, and imitate easily, though sometimes the imitations are grotesque. They have, too, a certain amount of pride, which, however, only shows itself in petty things. I have in my mind an incident which occurred near here, that shows this pride and endeavor at imitation in the less educated class, and this class constitutes the mass. It is not pleasant to bring in one’e own name, but I was one of the actors, if I may use the expression : I had gone out riding, about two miles from town, and was caught by a heavy shower of rain. By the side of the road was a little log house, with its little garden or “truck patch,” as it is generally called here, its corn field to the rear of the house, its oribs, etc. The smoke curling from the chim ney told of inmates, and I concluded to go in to dry my dress. It is a delicate thing to usher one’s self into one of their houses; you must feel your way in as it were, and as far as pos sible, fall into the ways of the house as soon as you enter it. I was surprised to find every thing scrupulously neat. The bed furniture, though coarse, was very white and clean, the disheB on the table were nicely arranged, in fact, every article in the room made me re spect the people who were so uncultivated and rude in speech. A woman and her daughter, a girl of 10 or 17 years, were dressed in their holiday garments, having been out to preach ing and had just come in. As soon as I ex plained, they kindly went to work to assist me. But it was most amusing to watch how eagerly the girl scrutinized my dress, (a calico) my shoes, my gloves, my hat, etc. She finally gained sufficient courage to ask innumerable questions in regard to the cutting and making; finally she remarked that she was going to have one like it. I explained fully. She had on a calico, very plain, with not a ruffle, but she soon left the room, and I heard her in a shed room. Very soon she oame in view with the brightest of bright pink calicoes, which she hung in full view, and she pulled it first one way and then another so as to arrange it to show to the best advantage. The object of this was very evident, 6he wished me to notice that she too had a dress with a ruffle on it. You will find it thus with most of them. They are un obtrusive, however. Human nature among these mountains is certainly an interesting study. Scott, with his inimitable powers of description, could find ample material. Diok- ens, with his exquisite sense of the ridiculous, could paint them to perfection. With what drollery could he weave into romance their peculiar vernacular—the “we-uns” and “you- uns” would sound almost musical. Appreciation of the beantiful in nature is the legitimate result of intellectual cultivation, hence the people are altogether unappreciative. Even the highest classes have little literary taste, consequently no enjoyment of the beau ties around. It may be that living amidst fine scenery all their lives has dulled their percep tions of the beautiful. This letter has assumed such a rambling character that it will not be amiss, even at so late a day, to give a short account of our cele bration of Memorial Day. This section of the State is brimful of staunch rebels, and here among the hills the day was most sacredly ob served. Not with the magnificent parade with which you witnessed it. Ne could boast of no martial music, nor gaily uniformed companies, but we had the same sad recollections, the same sacred duty, the same glorious sunshine, and a surrounding of beautiful scenery, God’s own pageantry, of which you could not boast. The exercises of the College were suspended, busi ness houses were closed, and at 10 o’clock our young soldiers—of whom we are justly proud'— clad in their neat grey uniforms, which “waken ed thoughts that long have slept,” after forming into four battalion companies, with arms re versed, to the slow time of the dead march, marched to the cemetery of the town. It was fitting, perhaps, that the national flag should have been borne as it was by the second com pany. It was heavily draped, and its folds fell sadly to the staff. Following them were men, women and children. Every hand seemed full of flowers, every heart was full, many faces were sad. One of the saddest sights I ever saw was upon that day. During the speeches, I ob served an old lady sitting near the grave of her only son. She had just plaeed her flowers upon it, and as if overcome had sat down near it, her face buried in her hands, her frame quivering with the sobs that would burst forth. She had lost her stay. After the speeches a salute was fired by one of the companies. An amusing and yet sad scene was the last. Col. Lewis related an inci dent of Polish history, in whioh he stated that wronged and brave people every year met at their capitol, Warsaw. It was a sacred day with them, as this day is with us. They could not erect a monument to their fallen heroes, bnt they determined to show their gratitude in some manner. What did they do ? Every man, wo man and child carried with them a stone. Their stones were thrown together. In this way they have erected a rude monument. Every year it is the same. Col. L. then proposed that we fol low the example of the Poles. This was done with peculiar zest, and the rude pile was crowned with a beautiful cross of flowers, upon which were thewords: “Our Contederate Dead.” You see how we do things among these moun tains—in our own peculiar style. This is sufficient for this time. F. G. L. All the World Over. A celebrated actress, carrying a broom in her hands, was singiDg, for the first time in an Eng lish theatre, the song called “ By a Broom.” When she came to the words, “To brush aivay insects that sometimes annoy you you will find them quite handy to use night and day,” she walked to the edge of the stage on which were seated several boys wLo had taken up po sitions to the annoyance of the actress, and also to the audience, and she vigorously and ruth lessly swept the intruders into the pit. The laughter and applause that greeted the lady were treuienuous, and it was sometime before she could go on with the remainder of the song; she fairly brought down the house. A man in Cowley county, Kansas, has found aspring which seems to have the peculiar prop erty of petrifying anything which is left for any time in the waters. He says that the last year’s leaves that dropped into the spring have been incrusted with a formation of stone, and the limbs and roots which project into the spring have also been petrified. A widow, poor and respectable, lived at King ston, N. Y., and thither hied but recently a wealthy widower, a farmer, living a few miles away. He had never seen her before nor she him, though they knew each other by reputa tion, and when he drove up to the widow's res idence with hiB elegant span and handsome carriage, they were introduced, went out for a drive together, returned to dinner, went for an other drive and returned in the afternoon man wife. A San Franoisco paper has received a letter from a soldier in Idaho stating that he wishes to secure a wife. “My time,” says the man, “is nearly out and I intend to settle in this coun try. I intend starting a chicken ranch. I want a wife to take care of young chickens. I have got money. My wife will not have muob to do —only milk nine cows, feed 600 young ohick- ens, chop her firewood, cook three meals eyery day, and the rest of her time she can go out among the neighbors.” In Tapan a man may procure a divorce from his wife on the ground that she talks too much, and the amount of domestic bliss that there is in that country surpasses the wildest flights of imagination. It is announced that Miss Bennett, sister of Mr. James Gordon Bennett, is about to marry an Irish peer. Ole Bull, the celebrated violinist, will give thirty conoerte in this tjou'Vtiy duiing the com ing season, , / f # Emma Bethel’s trial for poisoning Reckleith Bishop is going on in Camden, N. J. George Bishop, son of the poisoned man, testified that on two occasions he purchased arsenic for Mrs. Bishop, which she said she wished to take for a oold, with other drugs. Later„ advices state that Miss Bethel has been acquitted. A passport and sea letter have been issued by the Treasury Department to Mr. James Gordon Bannett’s Arctio ship,the Jeanette, which, it will be remembered, was purchased by him in Eng land for an expedition to the North Foie and by act of Congress was made an American ship. The vessel’s former name was the Pandora, and she was built originally for Arctic work and be longed to the British navy. Mr. Bennett has named her after his sister. Michael Elring, fifty-five years of age, a resi dent of Boxborough, employed in a Manyunk mill, twice married and the father of four chil dren, hanged himself in the cellar of his house last week. The cause of the suicide is ascribed to frequent contentions between himself and his second wife concerning the first wife’s chil dren. A Shelbyville (Ind.) man who had been living in grogeous style was found to have been at tempting the starvation of his daughter, in order to get her property, by keeping her confined in a room. A mob of young men released her, and ware about hanging the father when the City Marshall prevailed on them to let him go, and they escorted him to the depot and compelled hi a to leave the oity. His wife refused to go with him. Mr. D. O. Woodward of Sugar Run, has a chicken which was hatched about two weeks ago, that has only one leg. The leg is near the mid dle of the body, and there is no sign of aHother leg; otherwise the chicken is well formed and hops around as easily as the rest of the brood. The case of Miss Maria Baldwin, of West Granville, who was bitten in the face by a mad dog in April and last week gave signs of hydro phobia, is peculiarly interesting as another and strong evidenoe that the disease is not alto gether one of the inif»£Snation. She had always firmly held that no ohe need go mad from a dog bite, since she was bitten had shown no nervous ness concerning it, going about her duties as usual. The dog had also bitten two other dogs and two sheep. One dog was killed at once, but the other and the sheep have since gone mad and been killed. Moreover, one of the sheep bit a hea, and the bird also went mad, showing its condition by running about wildly and Decking at its fellows until it was also killed. But Miss Baldwin was not told of this, and* thought lightly of her own case until last Mon day, when she suddenly found herself unable to swallow water. Later she was thrown into spasms and foamed at the mouth, when ^she gave up hope, but would allow none of her friends to come near her, _ lest the saliva should inoculate them also with the disease. The spasms became more frequent and severe through the week, the doctors being able to do nothing but administer opiates, and Miss Bald win is now dead or at the point of death. She was a woman of great kindness of heart and much beloved by ail her friends. One hundred thousand foreigners reached Paris to witness the ceremony of the opening of the exhibition on May 1. The prices of liv ing have advanced, but not to the extent that was feared. The buildings are finished. Exhibitors are only behindhand. The English, American, Swiss and Dutch are the most ad vanced. Although three thousand miles away, and after Congress so long hesitated about vot ing any money at all to be properly represent ed, we are still among the first in being ready. It is said that the Exposition will not be in “full feather” before the fiist week in Jane. ‘Hu '< hands' dressed * ‘We ar (Continued from let page.) wick. ‘He has no small vioes, and his virtues shine with calcium splendor.’ Camber gazes at bis Achates and shrngs his shoulders. ‘I think he has set out to fool the world, and is doing it; to the top of his bent I distrust his unnatural humanity, and eternal courtesy, Fred !

The difference between us is, that I have a bad reputation and a good character, and yon have a had character and a good reputation—till you break.’ Hardwick laughs nervously. Horton is no coward, and men never joke with him.

It is not the first time he has tried to throw Horton off his guard, but the olever brain defeats him and he admires the strong will that keeps in such utter subjeotion the natural tem per that shows itself In the deep eyes and fine face. It is easier to oonquer kingdoms than it is to conquer oneself. Crosar did not do it, nor yet Hercules, Alexander, or Napoleon.

Belubbed Sisters and Brudders: I’se mity dis comforted dis mornin, and dat’s what makes me persflre so powerful. You know I let dat white preacher have de nse uv my pulpit las Sabbut, to dress my congregashun; but when I done the oolite and Christian ting by him, I aint spec how he’d misuse de privilidge like he been and done. My brudders and Bisters, you tink dat white thrash aint turn he nose np at our 'ligious per- oeedens ? Case a Bister got de blessin’ so power ful she kick over de bench and shout‘glory’ putty brash, he say sich conduct was not com prehensible, and de black folks ought to be more dickorus, and ef dey aint, he aint gwine to preach to em no more. I pity dat poor white creeter. What does he know ’bout the wuckin’ nv de spirit? White folks is mighty dish water race, anyhow; dey aint the favurt tribe o’ de Lord nohow. De fast folks de Lord made was colored folks. Yes, Adam and Ebe was a color ed gentleman and lady. Yon hearn me prove dat pint before, and anoder reason what come into my logicum is dis: Adam and Ebe neber wucked none; dey jes laid roun and joyed dey- selves like God meant folks to do. Ef dey had been white folks, dey nebber would a bin dat sensible. Dey'd a bin rootin roan in dat gar den, and plowin, and hoein, and diggin np stamps, and buildin railroads and the messy knows what udder nonsense. White folks all cracked on de subjeo o’ wuok. The Yankee he wussen all; the Yankee fool me. Fore freedom cum, I tort he was jes apple pie, but, my brudders, I owe de Yankee a grudge. Not so much for dat mule and forty acres he tuck it out in promissin us, but beoase he’s de mos onrestless, onreasonable creeter about wuck dere is in dis world. He never gets tired a wuckin hisself, and he dont want yon to. Now, de colored man's get some ob de ’riginal Adam in his composity. He natally dispise wnck; he aint a forever wearin out de soles uv his foot and de pans nv his hands a tearin roan and a pitohin in. Whers de collared man my brudder, dats fool nuff to wnck from chice, or pines to a skili- ton case he can’t wuck nuff? Whers de oullurd man dat don’t sigh fer de good old days when vittals and cloze growed spontanechus, and de ravens corned and brung de faithful dere dinner ready cooked ? My brudders, I never hate de debil like I dees when I goes out to earn my daily pone and feels de cold in my marror or de sun a beatin on my defenceless head. Den I hates de debil for introjucin wnck troo he nasty apple, and den I knows de white folks what’s allers turnin and twistin, and wuckin is de debil’s own chillun. And dis Belubbed, is jes plain proof to my mind dat Adam and Ebe was cullurd folks, and dat de wuckins uv de spirit aint shown to none but dese very cullurd race what dat triflin white preacher turn he nose up at right here in my pulpit. White folks ’ligion aint hotter ’n a blue Norther. Its a po’ 'sense sides de warm, sweet-smellin piety uv de Lord’s chosen. Dat Preacher neber went to understan’ how ef you pour water in a cup and keep on a pourin, dat cup run ober eider at he head or he heels, and de brudder or sister boon to kick or to holler ‘Hallyluger’ or to poun de nigh sister in de back. And I ’peals to de brudern and sis- tern present ef dat’s any reason why a preacher nv a color what aint a credit to him, should call it ‘comprehensible’ conduct, and ’fuse to pour de gospil wine any more ? Bnt den, he’s jes a book-larned creeter, and he don’t know no better. De Lord aint talk to him face to face and lightened uv his intelleck like he has dis humble individjul wbat’s discoorsin uv you dis present. I’ll fill my own pnlpit arter dis. I’ll ’s’oharge de gospil myself, an ef any lady wants to shont, I’ll promise you it won’t make me withdraw de rajence of my intelleck, or pint de finger nv scorn.
