CAMP. ll sickens us to see democratic papers and politicians, who op posed the election of Speaker Car lisle, begin to prophecy defeat to their party as soon as that officer was elected. As some of these pa pers arc recognized as leading or gans in our party, they necessarily do the cause they profess to es pouse serious injury. We do not believe that Mr. Carlisle’s election as spcakei of the house of repre sentatives will have any cfl'cct what ever upon the national contest. He is a statesman of spotless character, and has too much sense and patriot ism to commit any act that would result in the injury of his party. The fault with the democratic party is that we have too many leaders. Every politician wants to boss the concern, and when a little victory is gained there is always a fuss over the spoils. The republicans have their little family quarrels also, but it is always after an election, and not before, as is the case with the democrats. Every time a victory seems to be within our grasp there is a row kicked up and the oppor tunity lost. Now wc want these dissatisfied journals and politi cians to either keep silent and accept the will of the majority, or go over to the radi cal ranks. They can do us far less injury there than from their present course as democrats. They should sacrifice personal preference for party good, and yield their own opinions when they find themselves in a hopeless minority. What re democrats whether Mr, Carlisle is palatable to the republicans or not. We are not trying to please that party but to strengthen our own- The democrats have already given too much attention to conciliating the north. Our platforms have been shaped as nearly like the re publican’s as words could express, and it seems that our leaders are afraid to utter a syllable without first looking appealingly toward Yankeedom to see if it will possibly give offense to our enemies. What we want to achieve victory is an open, fearless declaration of our principles, regardless of the likes or dislikes of the monopolists of jhc north. We want a candidate nominated on a platform of tarifl for revenue only; opposed to centrali sation and [monied monopolies. Show the world that we arc not afraid to proclaim our convictions aloud, and that they will he enforced. Let the republicans tote their own skillet and we our's. Draw the lines and draw them fine. We have boot-licked the north too ibng already, and cloaked our can didates with the garb of hyp’ocracy. Wc have lost the respect of the best element north, “and only con trolled such votes there as self-in terest could purchase.

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 28, 1883.— I have sadly missed your valuable paper this week. Not a single copy since Sunday. What’s ailing? While I write the sound of fire crackers is heard throughout the city, though it is quiet compared to Monday and last night. To me Christmas has been anything but a pleasant one. It has not appeared as that festal occasion I knew in the years gone by. Perhaps this may be attributed to many causes, but the main one is the absence of a prattling babv boy from the hearth stone. The form of my little darl ing is sleeping quietly ’neath the sod in Oconee Cemetery, while bright angels guard it- Christmas can never be what it once was to me, and yet I feel that I ought not to complain, for I know of hundreds of innocent little children in this city who would be far better off were they in the beautiful beyond. Half of the suffering in this city never goes to the world through the press. Only one day last week a child which*had been dead for four days was found by its sick mother’s side. She was too ill to attend to it and but for the sickening smell which came from the room they might not have been discovered for many more days. King alcohol got in his work well yesterday—a young man named Kile stabbed a negro man fifteen times with his knife, and the negro is not expected to live. They were both drinking, Kile was placed un dcr a $500 bond to-day for his ap pcarance at the Superior Court. The bond will be increased if the negro dies. Monday night two colored sisters became involved in a row in which one of .them was stabbed eleven times on the face, arms and hand. The wounded wo man was on the street to-day. There were several other fights of less im portancc, and there were over half a hundred cases before the Record er to-day. The income to the cit’ from that source will read nearly $300, and yet the Chief of Police says it was dull. Governor Brown has appointed Willie G.

Delightful Music, Fine Addresses and Cere- The dedication of the Jewish synagogue took place on Friday, as was announced. Rev. Dr. Levy, of this place, was ably assisted in the dedication by Dr. Levy, of Au gusta. The church is a beautiful struc ture, and the inside had been hand somely decorated with flowers and ornaments by Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Stern and Miss Hoff. 1 he amount of work and the artistic taste these ladies displayed in the decoration of this church is truly wonderful. The first thing you see, on entering the synagogue, is the magnificent pic- ffifepainted by Miss Franklin, of the Tablets descending in a cloud. This is a beautiful picture and re flects great credit upon Miss Frank lin as an artist. The wood-work of the synagogue is splendid, and great surprise was expressed at seeing such fine designs. A mag nificent Brussels carpet covered the floor, and the platform at the end of the church had two pulpits—the rear one used as a reading desk, and the first one where the discourses are delivered. This description of the interior of the church does faint justice to it, and the best thing we can say is, that it was magnificent. Precisely at 4 o’clock the organ, presided over by Mrs. Stern, in a queenly manner, played a prelude, and a prayer was read by Rev. A. R. Levy. The dedication opened with a Hebrew song by the choir, which consisted ot Mrs. C. Stern, soprano; Miss Henrietta Hirsch- field, alto; Messrs. P. Stern and Si mon Hirschfield, baritone; Mr. Leopold Flatau, tenor; Mr. M. G. Michael, bass. After this song Miss Nora Stern delivered the key of the synagogue to the President, Mr. M. Myers, in a beautiful ad dress. Mr. Myers responded in a short but appropriate address on receiving the key. Mr. Hirsch field, one of the choir, rendered a delightful solo, after Mr. Myers had received the key to the synagogue. The procession then marched in, headed by little Sarah Morris, clad in white satin with a white wreath Seating to Organlxaan Expedition to Find the Alleged Polar Fatty Land. Washington, December 27.— Captain Geo. E. Tyson, of Polaris fame, has received a letter from A. Symmes, dated at Symnizonia, Ky.. December S. The subject is that of going north in command of an ex- pedition next May or June, to be gotten up by subscription for the purpose of finding the country that Nordenskjold, Wiggins and Cap tain Tuttle found after'passing the magnetic pole at eighty degrees north latitude, and running south after getting into the open polar sea until they found a country and a people never before heard of and reported to the art society of Lon don by Captain Wiggins and Sea- baum. Captain Tuttle also report ed having found the same country and people, and describes the people as being very large with black hair and whiskers, roman noses, and speaking Hebrew. The writer says: “I find no difficulty in find ing people willing .to subscribe money enough to buy a steamer like the Polaris, and go in search of the people and country that Wiggins, Seabaum and Tuttle found, where they said they rode on horseback through the new country and saw hemp.flax,wheat, hides, wool, ivory iron ore, and were told of ten or twelve gold mines that yield from five to seven tons each yearly. Cap tain Hall said that if there were a people up there they must be giants, as the atmosphere was so life-giving and now they are found and report ed to be seven or eight feet high and well proportioned.” Com boil’ op dr Are Gwinter kill hog*, , _ W*or yer brogoa shoes oa two par o sacks, 3 Gwineter kill bogs terday; Do Guinea nigger scrapes de ha r,,id,do hoe, Gwineter kill hogs rerdnv; It mokes dc chunky non bof pun and blow, Gwinter killhoit* ter amy: Do wimmen am a bilin’ of de CM In do ywd, Gwinter kill hog* t**r day; An’ da smile mighty cunnin’ case d* gwinter hab lard.

When we rely up on such men as John Kelly, we may expect to be sold out to the highest bidder. The republican party is fast going to pieces with its own rottenness, and there are thousands of good and true men in the north who would gladly drop it were they offered anything better in ex change. They see in the democracy a timid organization, that is afraid to either advance or retreat. They sec it trying to catch their votes w.ith vague and indefi nite promises, that mean nothing. We forfeit their respect, and by re lying upon such an elemsnt as we ( k> in the north, antagonize the bet ter people. Wc have always thoughti! there was anything iriean- cr than a southern republican it is the average northern democrat. As a party they are the Takings find scrapings of creation, and only the Creator knows how they will vote on the final day. Let our leaders strive to elevate the standard of de mocracy and stop cringing to rad icalism. The country demands a Qtpre respectable political organiza- and if the democrats will slake off the leeches that cling to their body politic and declare their prin ciples boldly, we believe that a glo rious victory awaits us in 1SS4.

Those to the right were draped in white and blue, and those on the left in white and pink. Mr. Phillips and Mr. Michael, the two oldest of the Congregation, follow ed the children, each one hearing his arms one of the scrolls of the law. The procession was closed by Miss Nora Stern and Miss Helen Marks and Mr. Myers, the Presi dent. When the procession reach- ed the platform the ministers ad vanced and took each one of the scrolls of the law and placed them on each side of the pulpit. While the procession was marching in, the choir rendered a beautiful Hebrew hymn from the 24th Psalm. After the choir closed, Dr. Levy, of Au gusta, delivtred the dedication prayer, and the scrolls were placed in the ark and the ark closed. Du ring all the services the choir were rendering beautiful songs. All of this part of the dedication service was very impressive, and was wit nessed by a large and refined audi ence, Rev. J. D. Hammond and Rev.J. C. Davis occupying seats on the platform. THE CLOSE. Rev. Levy, of Augusta, read the dedication lesson from the 7th and Sth chapters of I Kings. Mrs. Stern then sang a beautiful solo, in her rich and silvery voice. Dr. Levy, of Athens, then delivered the dedication sermon, which was magnificent effort. The choir sang the dedication hymn, composed by Prof. Ludwig, of Erie, Pa., .which closed the service. The regular Sab bath eve services were read by Rev. A. R. Levy, of Athens, and prayer and benediction by Rev. Levy, of Augusta. All the visitors came away very much impressed with the solemnity of the occasion.

Two Modes Tor Fall and Winter 11s Professionally Favored. A mrrienn Ha ir-l+rcteinj. Part the hair in the centre and crosswise six inches from the front; fasten the hair on the crown of the head,leaving those of the neck loose; the front hair to be waved and dressed backwards. With a branch of thirty-five inches, whose points are curled, make plain gordian knot and turn the ends toward the crown of the head. The points must be parted in several parts so that they form a bunch of small curls, and must be mixed into the front bunches. Frizzle slightly the neck hair, puff them into the knot and finish the coiffure with a point. Part the hair carefully and press it down on both sides and part of the front; for foundation crimp the hair on the temples and behind the ears with a small crimping iron in three parts and raise the former slightly toward the crown of the head. Cover the front with a loose front piece and twist the back into a Langtry knot. Part the short neck hair in two equal parts, frizzle slightly and twist first the part on the side of the knot, turn it cross wise over the part and pull it through the ring in the knot. The end of the curl must be formed half open in the shape of a shell, while the op posite part must be finished by a few waves and soft curls.

Judsre Weston, of Leadville, Col., has ji-ct returned from Mexico where he was defendant in a pecu liar damage suit. Contractors who had supplied lumber for his mines had not paid their employees.and he was sued for the sum due them, $236. He had to ride 20 miles to court, and there the three Judges dismissed the claim against him. But after he had returned to his mine an officer came and summon ed him again to court, as the Judges had changed their minds. Again he rode twenty miles. The decision was reversed, and the Judges told him that he could appeal to a high er court by depositing with them the $2,36 adjudged against him. In his anger he retorted that he would be blanked if he would do it,but that he would deposit the money with some honest merchant. Thereat the offended presiding fudge drew a dagger, but Judge Weston Instantly covered the court with two revolvers, and while the three Judges dropped down behind the bench he walked out.

Va., says: Mrs. Elizabeth Somerfield and two children, living on the slope of Rich Mountain, about twenty n.iles from here, were murdered by some unknown parties, probably on Sun lay, the 16th, and their bodies con sumed, the house being fired after the bloody work had been conclud- d. A mail-carrier on his way to Seneca, Pendleton county, was met by two men, who told him a cabin bad been destroyed by fire some distance ahead on his route. The carrier spurred on his horse, and soon reach', d the spot in a wild and lonely part of the Cheat River Val ley. Alighting he approached the ruins, and on reaching the outer edge of e ctinct embers his attention was attracted by the blackened head of an adult, supposed to be tint of Mrs. Somerfield, together with some charred bones and fragments of flesh. A further search in ihe ruins brought to light the skull of a woman and child, to gether with some ribs and part of spinal column. The woman’s skull ha- een crushed with s>me heavy .strument, probably a crow be vhich wos lying near. The mail-carrier at once gave the alai .11, and soon several hundred people were attracted to the seqn rof the tragedy, and a thor ough search was made of the ruins, which, however, resulted in throw ing no light or the crime.

There is a prescription in use in England for th; cure of drunken ness by which thousands are said to have been enabled to recover them selves. The ricipe came into noto riety by the efforts of Mr. John Wine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steam-hip. He had fallen into such habitual drunken ness tha: his most earn est efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing, at last he sought the ad vice of an eminent physician, which he followed faithfully for several months, and at the end of that time he bad lost all desire for liquor—al though he had been for many years led captive by a most debasing ap petite. The recipe, which he after wards published, and by which so many other drunkards have been as sisted to reform, is as follows.

SIX HUNDRED SNAKES. A Trunk-Load of Living Reptiles Found In the Heart of th6 City. Germingtown, Penn., Dec. 25.- While excavating for building pur poses in a vacant lot on Adams-st.. in this city, one ot the workmen discovered 2 small garter snakes- in a semi-torpid condition, which he killed. Upon throwing out another shovelful of dirt an immense nest of the reptiles was disclosed. Most of them were in a torpid state, but the largest, about a yard long, re tained sufficient vitality to wind it self around the leg of one of the cartmen,greatly to his horror. When found the reptiles were tangled up almost in the shape of a ball, and looked like a quantity of small dirty rubber pipes, twisted to gether in a fantastic manner. Most of them were killed, but Mr. Rop- ley put a number in a small tin pan with a cover. lie placed this in the sun, and when he returned to take his prize away he found that the snakes had been revived by the warmth and had squirmed about so vigorously as to push off' the cover and escape. However, he had no occasion to mourn his loss, for before the day was over there were new snake dis- edveries. and four or five other nests yielded over 300 hundred of them, in size from three inches to three feet, all more or less torpid. The next day there were more dug out, and the men began to suspect that all the reptiles which St. Patrick drove out of Ireland had found their way to Germantown. At the close of the socond day 600 snakes had been taken out all, of which were killed. silk. WHAT A LITTLE GIRL, DID.

Leadville, Col., Dec. 26.— Among recent arrivals in this city was Mrs. Jane Caldwell, who came home from Mexico, Mo., to visit her son. Her transportation was through a pass to which hangs an interesting tale. The instrument was presented to her husband and herself twenty years ago and is a life pass for both. It is recognized upon any railway in the United States, and was issued by the North ern Pacific railroad company after they had respectfully declined an offer of$10,000 from the corpora tion. In January, 1S61, the Confeder ate bushwhackers set fire to the bridge over Young’s Creek, and Mr. Caldwell got out of bed in sea son to check the flames with a pail of water. Then he hurried to Centralia to give the alarm, leaving his wife and children to keep the fire in check. It was a bitter cold night, and Mrs. Caldwell had to wrap her children in blankets; but despite the cold they worked and extinguished the flames. The bridge, however, had been reduced to a mere shell. Mrs. Caldwell knew that it could not bear up a train that was almost due, and hur rying to her house, she got a lantern and stood on the bridge in the bitter blast of a January night until that train with its freight of human life had been warned and stopped. As the heroic party would take no money they were given the famous pass, the only one of such extent ever issued. YOUNG “CHET” RUNS THE WHITE HOUSE. Washington Special. The President’s son. Allain Arthur, who is here for the holi days, is improving the absence of his father to play President on his own account.

DEATH IN THE DRESS COAT, X- V, World. A prominent physician said re- : phys Italia cently that the Italian opera is in creasing the death-rate. He had attended a score of cases of pnen- monia brought on by exposure in dress coats. Men take off their heavy business suits in the evening and go to the opera with their breasts covered only by a few folds of linen. They rush out heedlessly between the acts, stand in the drafts of the doors, or run out to the nearest cafe. The next day they are in bed. The dress-coat prescrip tion is one to be taken with the greatest care in this climate.
