The last wonderful discovery made
is that by a Frenchman, that electric

electrical apparatus in his cane, which
he holds above his head, wLen the

feople of the town in which he lives
gaze at him, it is said, with a sort of
awe as be walks in the midst of rain
, without being wetted. The days of
umbrellas arc over!

) Federal l ullets. lie was a citizen of
Augusta, and for many years was an
officer in the I ’nited States army, hav
ing won for himself great distinction
in the Mexican war, He was one of
the bravest, and with but few cxcep*
! tions, one of the ablest generals in tho
j Confedeiate army. A short time bc
| fore his death he was severely wound*
ed in the foot but returned to his com
mand during the exciting scenes which
transpired in tiont of Atlanta in tho
Summer of 18(54. in the memoiiable

Prig. Gen Paul J. Semmes, of Co
lumbus was killed at Gettysburg, 110
had distinguished himsell upon many
hard fought fields in the boutli, and
perished upon the loyal soil et Penn
sylvania. He was a graduate of West

army at the breaking out of the rebell
ion.

guished Georgian who fell in the cause
less rebellion, be and Parnard Pecos
South Carolina having been killed

The ♦’ount) Court I,aw.
It will be seen that the Act names
the Ist Wednesday in May as the day
for an election of Judges ot the court
in the various cjuntos The duties
to bo performed by that officer are ol
i a high judicial nature and of vast im
i portanee to the well being of the com
( munity, and no man should be placed
i in the position who is not well skilled
in the law and possesed of a personal
character without reproach. The idea
that it can be properly filled by one
who is not a lawyer by profession —as
i our legislators seem to have supposed
—is a great mistake, and they will
find it out when they come to have a
little practical experience in the office.
The Judge of the county court should
not only be a lawyer, but a good one,
aad we hope the people will, when
ihey come to the ballot box, correct
the error of their representatives on
this point. — Moron Telegraph.
