A Brief Visit to Two of the Public
Schools of Macon.
The •writer cut lot se from his sanctum and
daily routine of duty yesterday, and braving the
rain and Arctic weather, made the best of bis
way, first, to the North Macon School, on the
Folbilllot. Here he found presiding over the
fourth class, those two noble ladies and excel
lent teachers, Miss Clara Smith and Mrs. Ed-
dings.
Tne school numbers 37 pupils, all of whom
are accommodated in an apartment about half
as large as it should be, and warmed by a siuok
ing stove. But the children looked healthy
and happy, and bore unmistakable evidence ot
good and kind treatment. We arrived too late
to witness the exercises, but some of Macon’s
test p< ople were present, and expressed them
selves as highly gratified with aii that they saw
and b<ard. Alter the examinations were over,
speaking, recitatirns and dialogues followed,
and tbe children f.cquitted themselves most
creditably. Two of tbe best orators spoke a
piece entitled, the “Kival Speakers,” and each
enacted his pan to the life, completely using
up his antagonist and knocking him ‘ out of the
ring.” The entire proceedings were interesting
and satisfectoiy, and show that the gentle la
dies in charge are true to their trusts. It is an
ill v.ind that blows nobody any good, and the
duel war which brought poverty and distress
to the proudest and noblest famiii s in the land,
a’so furnished ahcst of instructors for the poor
and illiterate children of the country, who have
not their < qual in refinement, intelligence and
true nobility of character on the habitable glebe.
Among these tbe Dames of Miss Clara Smith,
Mis. Eddings and Miss Bessie Merrill stand
forth prominently and challenge admiration.
Wo cculd instance many others equally deserv
ing, but speak now particularly of the ladies in
charge of the fourth class and high school,
whicn were the only departments of our public
school system we had time to visit. On a sub-
st quent tcct sion we hope to pay our respects to
the other gentle ladies who are doing so much
to redeem from ignorance the youth ol all
clt sses in the community.
We paid a biief visit to the room of Mr.
McManus, and were much pleased with the
diclumation and recitations of his pupils. On
the local page, however, fuller particulars ot
the same will be found.
THE MACON HIGH SCHOOL.
Despite the opposition waged against this
branch of our pnfclic high schools, we found it
under the admirable management of Mr. J. F.
Baifield and Mi.-s Betsie Merrill, in a most
nourishing condition. Numbered among the
pupils were children of the first families and
bluest blood in Macou. And their demeanor
and performances showed that they|were not
only weii taught, but under the best training,
mentally and. morally. Mr. Barfield is a good
schoier and disciplinarian, and withal a perfect
gentleman and Christian. Miss Bessie Merrill,
too, his accomplished assistant, is one of the
most thorougn instructor and lovable ladies
in (he country. Her pupils simply idolize her,
and the benignant influence of such a woman
upon these entrusted to her care is of itself of
incalculable value.
When we arrived, the exsAnina-icnd had
closed, and tbe exhibition proper but just com
menced. This was in every respect creditable
a;.d interesting. The speakers and readers had
been allowed to select their own themes, and
the variety was loth refreshing and spicy.
Fcetry, history, the feuilletons of modern wri
te rs, and a travestie upon the grandest pessagts
in the lives of Ctesar, Brutus, and Mark An
thony' were rendered in good Btyle, when we
consider the youth of those who represented
these characters.
If it were not invidious, we could call names
and mention instances where the pupiis distin
guished themselves, aDd reflected honor upon
the High School of which they w#re members.
On the whole, maugie the opposition lo this
department of public education, we can but re
gard it as the prolific nursery of Wesleyan Col-
lece, Mercer University and the other first-class
literary foundations of the State. And who has
a bitter right to demand the continuance of
thisa schools of a superior grade for the bene fit
of their children, than the tax-payers, who con
tribute the lion's share to tbe support of the ele
mentary scho 1 for all classes. We cheerfully
endorse the management and conduct cf the
Bibb county public schools, and trust that they
may continue to increase in numbers and grow
in usefulness.—Macon Tel. JIcs.

• Dear Brother Seals:
I write to congratulate youtm the sucoesB cf
your noble enterprise.
It was a hazardous urderlak'ng to establish a
first-class literary paper for the South in these
perilous times.
Yonr success has astonished thousands who
prophesied for you a grand failure. Having
triumphed over so many obstacles, you have
much to encourage you in the future. The
Sunny South has a host of friends in all parts of
the land, and the number is increasing every
yeir. The new feature ia yonr paper—the edu
cational department—will add much to its popu
larity and usi fulness.
The cause ot education is much neglected at
the South. Our legislatures do but little for it.
Our politicians, and evmonr sfatismeD, give
very little attention to the subject. Our hope
is in the Press, and it is truly cheering to the
iriends ot education to see the Sunny South
leading off in this great work.
The citizens of Griffiu feel a lively interest in
the cause of education.
Her institutions of learning have ranked
among the first in the State for many years. Jn
fact, they have doDe mora to give chaiacter and
prosperity to our city than any ether enterprise.
Griffin Female College has now been thirty
years in successful operation, and has sent out
several hundred graduates who have gone foith
(o illustrate their Alma Mater in nearly all the
Southern States.
This ii stitution has been prosperous during
all thiss trying times and is now in a flourish
ing condition with the most encouraging pros
pects for tbe future. The College Las a large
Faculty of able aud experienced teachers who
are doing thorough work in the cause of female
education.
A Normal Department for the training of
young ladies in the art of teaching has recently
been added to the regular college course.
As there are no Normal schools in Georgia
for the training of young ladies who wish to en
gage in teaching as a profession, it may be a
matter of interest to many of your readers to
know of this Normal Department in connection
with Griffin Female College, in which these
who desire to engage in teaching may receive
special instruction for that work.
With my best wish for your happiness and a
still greater prosperity for the Sunny South,
I remain as ever, &o., * * * * *
Colored Schools in the South.
Professor H. S. Bennett of the Fisk Universi
ty, in Nashville, in a letter to the Christian Un
ion. (Mr. Beecher’s paper,) makes himself an
honorable exception to that class of Northern
preachois and teachers who think it a pari of
their duty to write invidious, unfriendly, and
often slanderers ietteis upon tbe Southern peo
ple, for the apparent purpose of pandering to
sectional prejudice. Correcting a statement
made by Bishop Gilbert Haven, that the public
school syttem in the Southern States has broken
down, Prof. Benmtt writes:
But if it be said that the remarks (of Haven)
apply to the colored schools of the South, the
statement is not true. In eve)y Southern State
the school systems recognize the claims of the
colored people: and make provision for the edu
cation ot colored children. In the report of the
Commissioner of Education referred to the dis
tinction between white and colored children is
not always made, and yet is observed frequent
ly enough to enable us tc know what is done for
the colored youth in States where we would ex
pect the lee st.
For instance, in Mississippi, for the year ’75,’ 7G,
theie were in attendance in the public scl oots
9J.178 colored children or about C4 per cent, of
ihe entire colored scholastic population. There
were 14,-OCO more coiored children in school
during the year than white. In South Carolina
there were 70,812 colored in school out cf a
scholastic population of 152,000. In Georgia
43,778 were enrolled on the lists as having at
tended the schools. In Tennessee 45,000 at
tended school last yiar. Having been engaged
for the past twelve years in preparing teachers
for coloied schools, I know from experience that
there Las been a growing demand for teachers
from nearly all the States in the South. Those
States which have not made demands upon Fisk
University lor teachers are so far remote that it
is more economical for them to draw their sup
ply frem sources nearer home. We have sent
teachers into Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky and of course Ten
nessee. The demand is growing from year to
year. Any competent colored man or woman
can get a school in the South.
Georgia pays four hundred thousand dollars
annually cn public schoojs.
The New Orleans Times says seme of the un
fortunate 6chcol teachers in New Orleans are
upon the verge of starvation and nomcney with
which to pay them.
The LaGrauge Hinh School.
The city council met last Saturday morning
to act on the matter of electing a principal for
the LaGraDge High School. Instead of dispos
ing cf the matter themselves, they appointed an
electoral commission for that purpose, consist
ing ot Messrs. B. C. Ferrell, A. D. Abraham, D.
N. Speer, J. G. Truitt, B. G. Swanson, T. S.
Biadfield and W. P. Edmondson. This com
mission met at once, and, unlike its illustrious
prototype of national celebrity, was not 8 to 7, ‘
but was 5 to 2. Mr. J. H. Wilson, of Kentucky,
received five votes, and Mr. V. T. Sanford, of
Penfield, two. Mr. Wilson was at once inform
ed by telegraph of his election. He declined to
eccept, and the commission had another meet
ing on Monday morning, and elected Mr. San
ford, who has accented.— LaGramjc Reporter.
A VIRGINIA HEROINE.
BY FLOYD COOKE.
Panics in large school buildings in the North
are Dot unfrtquently caused by alarms of fire;
and in almost every case, several of the children
are trampled to death. Last Friday, fire broke
out in the Worcester street public school, in New
York city. Twelve hundred children were in
the building. They were instantly dismissed,
with the statement that carpenters were com
mercing to wark—. Jjrbey all w*nt cut-deliber
ately and safely, and then the alarm was given,
and the fire extinguished. So much for pres
ence of mind.
There is scarely any hazing at Harvard this
year, so far as an outsider can observe; but a
student writes to the Springfield Republican
that plenty of it is done by certain secret socie
ties. ‘The initiations are devilish,* he says;
'each member is branded on tbe arm so as to be
identified, and cases have occurred where aims
have been seriously burned by the brander be
ing in a beastly state of intoxication. Each
member is obliged to take a plunge into the
Charles river by night, and if he declines on
a count of bis health, be is dealt with all the
more severely in some other way. Resistance is
out of the question, and a case cccurred not
loDg since where a man was felled to the floor
for refuting to obey orders. To conclude, the
new member is obliged to drink an exceedingly
strong bumper of liquor, and as soon as this is
done, he is pressed upon trom all sides to drink
with friends, who wish to congratulate him, but
whose real object is to intoxicate him. During
all these initiations the members are masked,
so that those who commit the atrocities can
never be detected.*
The Small Boy Has Some Fun.’
He was naturally cruel, and he told an acquaint
ance one day that he had a new trick to play on the
public—something entirely new He had a long
string and a brass key tied to the end of it, which
he said was the instrument of torture. Over the
front sidewalk a maple tree sent some pretty strong
branches, making a seat hidden by leaves. Into
this, after dark, the boys climbed. ‘Now wait,’
soys the principal, till the first victim comes, and
don’t make a noise.’ Pretty soon an ordinarily
dressed woman came along, and just as she had
passed, he let down the key on the hard sidewalk,
immediately pulling it up agaiu. Both now
watched developments. The woman came to a
sudden stop, began fumbling in her pocket and
wondered what it was she could have dropped.
She started on, but had not got far before she came
back impelled by curiosity, aud began a careful
search of the walk. Meanwhile the boys in the tree
had stuffed their fists in their mouths to keep from
scaring the game, and dared hardly look below
for fear of laughirg cut. A sympathetic sister
came along, aud together they picked up stones
aud turned over all the chips on the sidewalk. No
money, no key, nothing did they find ; and so
went on to their homes, perhaps to worry all night,
or perhaps a giggle in the tree turned their look
of disappointment to a very cheap smile and a
laugh from the same place made them have awful
wicked thoughts about boys.
One victim found a piece of tin, and lading the
cause of the noise to that, was saved from a great
deal of wr rry. But when she picked it up and
threw it down several times to test the sound the
boys nearly fell out of the tree. A man, when
caught would slap all of his pockets, glance
around a little, but it was seldom he was brought
to hard-pan search* When any one saw the trick
after searching half an hour, and saying all kinds
of things for the amusement of the boys, he simply
went away hurriedly. There was no remark to
make, no name to call. To get out of sight as soon
as possible seemed to be the most desirable. The
trick is harmless; no one breaks a leg or loses an eye
in its process. It might be reccommended to consti
tutionally tired boys as a good way to sweep the
walk. The victims will throw all the chips and
stones into the street by curiosity power, as it
were.

A scene on tbe Rapidan. The river ran with
a merry ripple between the banks, the birds
sang in the branches of the giant oaks that shad
ed a large white farm house on the banks of the
river. To look upon the quiet scene one would
not imagine that the dark shadow of civil war
fare rested upon the land; yet there, scarcely a
mile below, bidden by a bend in the river, lay
McClellan's army like a glittering serpent
coiled for a spring, while upon the ether side
gleamed the white tents of the devoted little
band it songht to make its prey.
The inmates cf the farm house were galhored
around the breakfast table. They were four in
all, The oldest of the group, a stately old lady,
handsome still, in spite of the traces time had
’eft upon her, but evidently suffering still from
recent il njss. On either sice of h:r were two
fair girls, with euough of her placid beauty to
show them her daughters. But the young lady
opposite was of a different type. Tall and beau
tifully formed, with a fine, heroic cast of coun
tenance, dark eyes and dark hair in rings upon
her breal forehead; but there was firm will and
resolution no lees than grace in the curves of
mouth and chin.
Such was the group revealed to the eyes of the
young man who threw open the door, and with a
cry of Oh, mother ! thank God, I see'you again !
while she, with the fond mnrmer, ‘Charlie, my
son !’ sank back almost fainting in her chair. In
a moment the young n:aa clasped, first his sis
ters and then the trembling, blushing Alice
Ruthven in his arms.
‘My son ! my prtcions son !' sobbed the moth
er, and when he turned to her again: ‘How came
you here? We thought you were wi.h Lee.’
‘So I was, dear mother, until I heard of your
illness. The the upht ol you so ill without me
beside you, almost set me wild. I obtained
leave of absence, for though God knows every
man is needed now, our grand commander said
he would never keep a son from what might be
his mother's death-bed. I got through safely,
and—and—here I am.’
•But Charlie, do y ou not know that the Fed
eral army is very near, and the house liable at
any moment to be searched, Oh, my son ! to
think you should expose yourself to such peril
for me.’
‘But dear Mrs. Morton,’interposed Alice, ‘they
cannot suspect us of having anyone hidden, and
even if they should, why, you forget the secret
chamber. Taey could i/ever discover that.’
‘True, dear child; we will forget ail cause for
anxiety aud give ourselves up to the enjoyment
of Chajlie’s society.’
Alice Ruthven and Charlie Morton had been
betrothed from childhood. When war rolled
its dark tide over the South, she herself had fas
tened on his sword, and watched him go to the
scene of strife with her father and sixteen-year-
old brother, bravely keeping down the rebelli
ous anguish in her heart, and becoming her
mother’s sole stay and comfort. And much was
she needed, for.ia the very first battle he: fath
er and brother both fell, their beautiful home
was burned before their eyes, and at last the
heart-broken mother, unable to resist tbe con
tinued shocks, was laid beside her husband.
Then Mrs. Morton took the lonely girl to her
home, where she was still a cherished inmate.
The party were deep in conversation, the
young soldier between bi3 mother and Alice,
when an old negro rushed into the room, ex
claiming:
‘Run, run, Mas’ Charlie ! I been spyiD’ roun’
de camp, and dat villain WiH, done tole urn yon
was here, and all about de little dostt, an’ dej’ll
Vi *~~rr ; r nr»i<ajLji — —
Quick, quick/Aincle Ben ! take him to the
swanp. 1 v i 1 keep the Yankees b or,’ ex-
clt imod Alice, before anyone else could speak.
‘You, Alice! My poor girl, what could you
do ?, said Charlie.
‘No matter, no matter! only go, go!
‘First promise me that you will do nothing
rash or I will not stir,’ said young Morton, firm
ly-
‘I will do nothing unbecoming a southern wo
man and your promised wife,’ said the young
girl, proudly. ‘New Charlie, go at once.’
There was a hurried embrace, a murmured
farewell, and then—he was gone.
Scarcely was he gone ere Alice, calling the
girls and Mrs. Morton and hurriedly explain
ing her plan to them, hastened to her own room.
She knew that ieng before her lover could reach
a place of saftty the house would be searched
and his enemies on his track. All tliatcouli be
done was to keep them back by slra'agem—and
this she now proceeded to do. Hastily disrol"
,ing she drew from a trunk a complete Bnit or
•Confederate gray,’ with the sword and pistols
also. Many a time it had been wet with her
tears, for it bad been woyqby her young broth
er. But now it was no time for memorii s. Has
tily donning tne suit, which fitted her perfectly,
she belted the sword around her and .flinging
the loDg cloak over all, hastened to the ‘Secret
Chamber,’a concealed closet in a disused bed
room, where she sat down to await the coming
of the search party.
Scarcely had Mrs. Morion and her daughters
returned to the drawing-room when the tramp
ing of horses’ feet was heard and a party of men
in Federal uniform galloped up to the door,
dismounted and were led info the Louse. The
Federal officer was a gentleman, and he bowed
courteously as he advanced and taid to Mrs.
Morton:
‘Madam, I deeply regret that the discharge of
a very unpleasant duty should inconvenience
you or your daughters, but we have information
that a rebel spy is concealed in this house, and
we have orders to capture him, dead of alive.’
■Of course, Sir, you must do your duty. IFe
will certainiy offer no resistance,’ said Mrs. Mor
ton calmly as though her heart was not torn by
a thousand conflicting emotions.
The soldiers proceeded to search each room.
The one in which Alice was concealed came last,
and as they entered it the officer unhesitatingly
walked forward and opened the door of the clos
et, of course revealing Alice in her soldier’s dress.
‘Surrender, Sir,’ said the officer sternly, and
Alice gave up her sword, saying with an air of
haughty resignation:
•There is no other alternative note.’
She was marched ciowns'airs, where an affect
ing parting scene ensued, lengthened cf course,
as much as possible. The Federal (ffiicer seem
ed deeply moved and very much ashamed of his
own part in the .transaction. At length, howev
er, they started for the camp. Alter reaching it
(hey were compelled to wait some time, as the
General was engaged; golden moments to Alice,
who now begun to feel very hopelnl of her lov
er’s safety.
An orderly summoned her to the General’s
tent. He glanced up at her as she entered, and
said sternly:
‘Youi g man, do you know you are accused of
being a rebtl and a spy ?’
‘I do, Sir,’ answered the young soldier, ‘and
yet I am neither. No man who fights for an es
tablished cons 1 itution is a rebel, and I am here
not to spy but to visit, as I buppostd, my moth
er’s death-bed.’
‘We will not difeuss that just now, Sir,’ said
General McClellan. 1 have some questions to
ask you,’ and he made various enquiries touch
ing the position of the sonthern army, its num
bers etc., to all of which Alice returned such
answers as induced the General to think that be
had captured a very dangerous ‘rebel,* if not
spy, in the person before him. Rising at length
he said:
‘Well, Sir, there only remains one thing to do
before your trial, and that is to have yon identi
fied ts a mere matter of form, by the. negro who
be rayedvyou.’
A moment later the wretch entered the room,
but at the first glimpse of Alice he txc’aimed:
‘Ob, Mas’Gen'l, dat aint Mas’ Charlie ’tall,
dat Miss Alice Ruthven.’
‘ Who?' ejtcilated the astonished officer.
‘Let me explain, General, said Alice, calmly.
‘Captain Morton was beyond yonr reach long
ago, and thinking I was as much of a ‘rebel and
spy’ as he was, I concluded, not to disappoint
yon, to come in his place.'
For one moment General McClellan looked too
furious to speak, and then he burst into an ir
resistible peal of laughter, and bowing, be said
frankly:
‘You’ve outwitted me fairly, Mi3S Ruthven,
and I cannot help admiring yonr cleverness and
courage. But now, for fear you may turn spy
in reality, I’ll escort yon home myself.'
The gallant General did so, and as be took
leave, said:
•I hope you’il remember to invite me to the
wedding, Miss Alice,’ which two years later she
actually did.
This was done by a Virginia girl fifteen years
ago, a*~d I think there are plenty left still who
are quite her equals in courage, talent aud nerve.

It is the cheapest medicine in tlie market it is
also superior to all known remedies. \V Idle it
is more effectual than Blue Mass,it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in

MR. ROBERT BONNER,
Dear Sir:—My wife has been afflicted for m3ny years
with diseases peculiar to females, and has been unable
to work a number of years, and being irregular in her
diet and having no appetite, lam happy to inform you
that your Pad and Plasters have been a complete success,
Her appeiite is good- better than it has been for years
and her health is nearly restored and she is now walking
about the house—a thing she has not done for many years,
which I attribute with medicinal propriety, to your Pad
and Ptasters, and I cheetfuily recommend them to the
afflicted. Yours truly,

ROBERT BONNER, Esq., Atlanta, Ga.:
I have less confidence in patent medicines thau almost
any man ; that there is some virtue in the •‘liollman’s
Pad,” I have no doutt. I was afflicted with Sciatica for
six months, and tried, it seems a thousand remedies,
Hot Springs, Arkansas, among the rest, aud iour.d no
relief. J tried the Uollman Pad and in thirty-six hours
I slept very soundly, something I had not done in six
months, and I am now entirely recovered *i he credit is
due to the “Hollman Pad.” Respect!ully.

From SV. B. Berry, Pres. 1st National
Bank, Newnan, Ga.:
Within a few day* after my son began wearing the pad,
from a sallow debilitated condition, he began to regain a
good appetPe and fatten, until lie is now of a clear rosy
complexion and is in as good health as could be desired.
J have no doubt it Is from the use of the pad, as all the
skill of good plij Biciaus had failed to produce any change.
From a poor Colored "Woman :
Mastts Roeem Conner :—I Itu but a pooir darkey
but nevertheless, I feel disposed to raise my feeble voice
hoping that some poor sfHicted creature may chance to
read and in what the Holiman Pad has done for me. For
tii last 18 years I have been laboring under the most of
!l;e diseases that the female sex are heir to. For years it
lias taken all of our substance to pay doctor bills, and
that, without being beuefilted.
About a month since my former mistress urged me to
try the Hollman Pad. I did so; have worn it a short
time and language cannot express my thanks. I am al
ready better than for IS years : able to do my own work
and help my husband. Appetite goc-d, getting fleshy
and strong as ever. O, liow thankful I am for the pad 1
to you lor bringing it into use, and to Mies Genie for
urging me to try it. Visa Ridley,

ROBERT BONNER,—Dear siir:— I received the pack
age to-day from you containing what I had sent for. I
assure you my wife has been greatly benefitted by wear-
iug the pad, which I cheerfully recommend to my friends,
and leave it to their option to send for one.

Dear Sir:- The Tollman Pad is a complete success.—
The Pad I bought of you has completely cured my little
daughter and restored her to health. For four years
she has been in bad health and often confined to her room
J called in four of the best physicians in the city and
they all differed in opinion about her disease. She is now-
12 years old. In less than 24 hours after wearing the pad
she became quiet and she slept well. Her appeiite was
soon restored and her lever left her and she soon began
to show signs of great improvement and is now perfectly
well, w ith good color, and dees not complain of pain or
appetite. 1 am confident that your pads have made the
cure and recommend it to all. Respectfully,
Atlanta, Ga. G. W. DOYLE.
Atlanta, Jan. 10,1878,
This is to certify that I have been affected with paraly
sis and other diseases and confined to my bed aud room
for 12 months, and that I am now up and assisting my
wife and ready to go to work. And that I am confident
that the Ho Jinan Pad and Body Piasters have restored
my health. I am now* living over Mr. Brothcrton’s store
on Whitehall street, where I am ready and willing to give
my testimony to any person. My wife will testify to the
truth of this certificate. Signed,

Holman Liver Pad Company,
Gentlemen :—This is my seventy- first birthday. I can-
notlet tL is anniversary pass, happy and blessed as I am
with most unusual good health for one who has pass'd
‘•three score years and ten,” without adding my testimo
ny and declaring, for the benefit of others, the great good
I have received from Holman’s Liver Pad and Plasters,
a valid
the time. Have iiaj the best physicians in Allopathy and
Homoeopathy to no jiurpoie. except, occasionally, tempo
rary relief. For three years I have been unable to eat a
comfortable or nourishing meal without resorting to
some aid to digestion.
The first of May last. I was much surprised onrccciving
from my friend, Dr. F \V Walsh, then in charge of your
Boston office, a Holman’s Liver Pad and Plaster with
specia’ directions for use. In forty-eight hours from the
time of application, I could sit at my tab'e and es-i as
hearty as any of my iamily, and feel to discomfiture what
ever therefrom. There are days I feel as well as w hen I
was twe ve years old. I can walk ore or more miles and
not feel the least, tired; and I will add that I ascribe all
credit to the pad, as I have taken no medicine of any kind
since applying it. I feel to praise God daily for giving G
W Holman the talents and power to make and apply such
wonderful discovery. I believe haif of its medicinal
power lies as yet undeveloped. Pespectfully,
