Horns.
BY JOBH BILLIKGS.
In writing the Riographi ov horns, I atn
astonished tew fiud so metmy ov them, and
entirely different iu thai-e pedigree and
pretensions:
CAPR HORN.
Cape Horn is the biggest horn known to
man.
Is a native of the**extretnß bottom ov
South Amerika, and gores the oshun. Cape
Horn is hollow, and acts az a phnunell for
the winds; which huPry thru it ,in mutch
haste, causing the waters ov the say for a
grate distance tew bekum crazy, which
frightens the vessels that go by there, and
makes tham rare and pitch iremenjis.
This horn is like a sour ole bull in the
hiway, don’t seem tew be ov enny use, only
tew make folks go out ov thare way to git
round it. .. . ,
DINNER HORN.
This lz the oldest and most sakred horn
thare iaf. It iz set tew roustc, and plays
‘Home Sweet Home,’ about hune. It has bin
listend tew with move raptures delite than
ever Graffufa’s bandbaz. Tu kan here it
further than yn kan Mr. Rodman’s guns.
It will arrest a man and brung bim in
quicker than a sheriff’s warrant. It kan
outfoot enny other uoize; it ka asses the
deef tew here, and tbe dum tew shout for
joy, Glorious old instrument 1 Long may

ram’s noRN.
A spiral root, that emerges suddenly
from the fi^fure-head 6f the maseuline sheep,
and rani ifies until it reaches a tip end.
Ram’s horns are alwus a sure sine ov bat
tle. They are used tew butt with, but
without enny rabpect tew persons. They
will attafek a stun wall, or a dsakon, or an
established church. A story iz told ov old
Deakou Fletcher, ov Konnektikiit State
who was digging post-lioles in a ram-pas
ture on his farm, and the moshuu ov his
body was looked upon bi the old ram, tfho
fed in the lot,, as a banter for a site.
• Without arranging enny terms for the site.
the ram went incontinently for the deakon,
and took him fust shot, on the blind side ov
his body, jis t about the tneridian.
The blow transposed the deakon sum
eighteen feet, with heels-overshead moshdn.
Exasperated tew a point at least ten feet
beyond endurance, the deakon jumped up,
and screamed with his whole woice,
‘Yu d-7-darned old cuss,’ and tbia all at
wunce remembering that he was a gude
pious deakou, Re apologized bi saying,
‘That iz, if I may be allowed the - express -

With What Measure Ye Mete it shall Be
Measured to You Again !’—The New York
•Jonrnai prefaces an article upon the Ger
man triumphal entry into Paris with the
following anecdote :
When 1 the beautiful Queen Louisa of-
Prussia, lay upon her deathsbed, a youth
of scafee nineteen was sobbiug in her arms.
That dying mother had been insulted at TiU
sit.-by the bullying tone of the First Napo
leon* She had witnessed the entry of the
conquering legions of* the invader into the
eapilal of Pmssia; she had mourned over
the vandalism of tbe victor, who tore from
Brandenburg Gate the magnificent car of
victory that adprued it; she had been told
how he stripped tbe National o*,
the beautiful works that were the pride of
BAINBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1871.
ieveiy Prussian, and she hpd witnessed the
J desolation that laid waste every acre of
I Prussian territory marked by the fco-tatep
jof the French invader. Her sool wrasjseavy
her the ftfkr
cooutry, in that momentous hour; and
placing her hand upon the head of her
kneeling boy, she bussed him, aDd in the
spirit .of prophecy said : ‘When I am gono,
rebuild the waste places of our beloved
Prussia, and remember you shall yet live
to avenge her cruel wrongs.’ •
That boy is now the acknowledged Em
peror of Germany, and France lies ©rushed
and bleeding beneath his victorious hedl as
no nation ever Was before. Yesterday the
victorious Germanic legions, with the sen
of the insulted and outraged Prussian
Queen at their head, entered Paris as the
French entered Berlin, while the whole city
lay prostrate at their feet.
What the French Soldiers Say.-— The
French prisouars of war in Germany a r e
signing their names to a^ petition address*,
ed to the National Assembly at Bordeaux,
in which declaring upon their honor to
obey what government France shall choose,
they demand thgtt the government shall be
the true expression of the will of the French
people. They therefore request an appeal
to suffrage, iu order to decide the
the two following questions.; First, mon
archy or republic; second, name of the
monarch in case of the monavchy being suc
cessful. This suggestion 'seems to have a
leaning towards Republicanism.
Gov. Alcorn Knows How it is Himshly.—
A dispatch dated Jackson, Miss. March 7th,
says : ’‘The♦Legislature has been trying
to evade the enactment of the law prepar
atory to holding an election this fall. Yes
terday Governor Alcorn informed a corns
mittee that he would order an alecllon for
all offices to be filled underfthe Constitution,
%fiey*enacted the law or not. He
also informed the committee that he would
not occupy his senatorial chair until the
election which would be held iu November.
By this bold stand the Governor has shown
his iutention to work in the interests ot the
people, and not risk-the Slate Government
in uncertain hands, He is making staunch
supporters of those, who a ago,
wei'e his political enemies.
Frank Blair in his recent speeches'Jaas
advanced no new- boru theory. He has
for years spoken the same sentiments to
his friends and foes. The Lexington States

ington, and that, beJGeo.- Blair) who had
been receiving pay for fighting poor South
erners, who was just returned from puns
ishing Georgia and Sonth Carolina with
fire and sword, told us, then and there
that the sin of the rebellion did not rest on
the Southern people, but upon the United
States Government.
Selfishness. —Live for some purpose in the
world. Always act your part welir Fill op
the measure of duty to others. Conduct
yonrselves so that yon shall *> e missed
with sorrow when you are gone. Multi
tudes of our species arc living in such a
selfisb flnnner that they are not likely to
be remembered after their disappearance.
They leave behind them no traces of their
existence, and' are forgotten almost as
though they had never been. They are,
while they live, like some pebble lying un
observed, among a million on the shore :
and when they die, they are like the same
pebble thrown into the sea, which just ruf
fles the surface, siuks, and’is forgotten,
without being missed from the beach. They*
are neither regretted by the rich, wanted*
by the poor, or celebrated by tb& learned.
Who has been the - better for their
life ? Who has been worse for their

healed ? Who would unbar tbe gate of
life to readmit them to existence ? Wretph

Daniel Boones Grave — The grave of Ahe
pioneer, Daniel Boone, says a writer “from
Frankfort, is marked by a morrt
ument rather imposing in size, but, the
pbief impressiveness is from its design ratbs
er than the size. It is a square block or
blocks of maffele, without ornamentation.
There are four scenes from tlie gram! pi
oneer's life, one on each of the four sides.
Gn the south side he is represented as has
iug engaged in h- death-struggle with In
dians. He has his foot uppon the breast
of one already slain, and is making a thrust
at another #fcVbas his tomahawk raised
to strike. - The retie-' Vandals have broken
off a part of the arm of one aF the Indians,
and the left hand of Boone- On the west
side Boone is represented as being in: &
dense forset, with hi3 rifle by his side, and
a slain buck at his leet. This picture is
perfect; except that the same unfeeling
brute has broken off Boone's nose and taken
it away. On the north side the picture is
so defaced by these relic hunters that it is
hard so tell what it was the inter Hon of the
designer of the pictoc to represent. On
the other side Boone's wife, Rebecca, sits
at the door of her log cabin milking a coW.
One of the cow's horns and part of the milk
bucket have been broken off by wicked
sinners afterffreliee.
Angry wo.rds win nothing but contempt
Have you ever chanced to catch a glaflfce
at yourself in a mirror when in a violent
rage? Did not yon make a ridicutens pic
ture? The distortion which finger occasions
to the countenance renders it a striking
exponent of mental character. The lines
become fixed in time, and, also, so does the
habit, until we bear people complain that*
they cannot restrain tbeir temper. They
can if they like.
