TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS. I AN UNDERTAKER’S STORY.!

A THIEF’S A THIEF FOB A 1 THAT.
A few months since Georgia ms
electrified by the news that John
ll. James, an Atlanta hanker, hno
failed for an immense sum of
money, and an investigation into
his affairs showed that he had
bankrupted hundreds of confiding
depositors by. speculating with
money confided to his care. The
laws of the state gave the victims no
redress, and they had but to accept
what was tendered them and be
content. But it seems that Mr.
James had managed to save enough
from the wreck (?) to resume busi
ness again, and like tho wily spider
be has his net spread for more flies,
ar.d will doubtless succeed in his
cheeky undertaking. Again, this
week, in the case of George T.
Jackson, of Augusta, has history re
peated itself. This man, who rank
ed at the head of successful finan
ciers, went under for about 1100,000,
and to make matters worse, it is
discovered that he had wilfully
falsitied his books with a view to
deceive his company. We predict
that Mr. Jackson, like that pious
banker James, will escape punish
ment for his misdeeds. it is a
shame a;-.d disgrace to Georgia that
her laws allow such high-handed
outrages perpetrated upon he • citi
zens without giving them any re
dress. A man who unlawfully
gains possession of thousands,
shuuld be held in the same light as
the petty thief who breaks into your
hen house at night or picks your
pocket. A man’s standing in soci
ety should not shield him from the
vengeance of the law. In fact, our
statutes are framed too much foT
the protection of the rich and pow
erful, and the oppression of the
poor. Take the history of criminal
prosecutions in Georgia, and you
will find it a matter almost impos
sible to punish a man of wealth
and influence. We know it is ar
gued that he is able to employ emi
nent counsel, and through their in
strumentality secure release; but
our laws must indeed be lax if they
cannot enforce justice, despite all
the eloquence and legal manipula
tors in the world. We don’t be
lieve in making fish of one man and
flesh of another. If we had the
right kind of laws John H. James
would to-day be a beggar or serv
ing a terra in the Georgia peniten
tiary, instead of living upon the fat
of the land, while his hundreds
of impoverished victims are de
manding in vain their just rights.
And George T. Jackson, whose
every whim was gratified at the
expense of his deluded friends,
should be made to account for eve
ry dollar entrusted to his care or
accept the consequences. For what
do we pay taxes except a protec
tion of our lives and proDerty?
And what protection have we ac
corded us when evety smooth
tongued sharper is allowed to rope
in and rob his victims by the score;
and when at last he has run the
length of his rope, has simply to
fall back upon his name and pres
tige and the shackles of a violated
law at once fall from his limbs?
We want to see statutes enacted
that will extend equal protection to
all men and classes, and hold the
scales of justice exactly balanced.
Let a man, be he prince or peasant,
know that when he unlawfully
uses the money of another he will
be held to a strict accountability.
If he can establish the fact that his
failure was an honest and legitimate
one, we are the last to add one grain
to the mortification that he must
naturally feel; but when he wilful
ly appropriates money not his own,
with a view of speculation or self-
indulgence, then he should be made
to take the consequences and stand
on an equal footing with other
criminals. We are opposed to any
classification of stealing. Let us
call things by their right names,
and brand the man who misapplies
his thousands and the negro who
steals a few pounds of cotton from
your field both as thieves. “Defal
cation’’ is a soothing word of mod
ern otigin, created for respectable
rogues. It should be abolished
from the vocabularly, and the plain
English ‘Thiel" substituted in its
place. We do not gloat in the
downfall of such men as James and
Jackson, for the mortification of
their friends must be poignant; but
our sympathy for their deluded vic
tims and a vindication of the justice
ol our laws stand paramount to all
sycophantic condolence. They
allowed the seed and should reap
tlie harvest.

and came home to-day to attend the
funeral of George Dobbs. While
at the funeral he expressed a desire
to be in George’s place, and said he
was going to kill himself, but no at
tention was paid to it until about 5
o’clock, when the shot was heard.
The Cow Catcher.
Capt. C. B. Daniel, the proud
proprietor of Clover Dale stock
farm, is now engaged in pasturing
cattle on his place. He comes into
the city and with his lasso catches
the cows and leads them out to pas
tures green. There is a young law
yer living in Athens who has a very
vicious cow that he wanted Capt.
D. to carry out to his farm and feed
during the winter, but forgot to tell
the Captain that she would use- hei
horns oa any one who attempted to
interfere with her quietude. Capt.
D. wound his losso around his arm,
similar to a Texas cowboy,and went
after the aforesaid. He twirled his
lasso in circlets around his head
and let it loose. It never reached
the mark. The cow stopped, her
tail and head high in the air, but
where was Capt. D.? He made one
leap which carried him out of the
cow pen, and another leap which
carried him headforemost undr the
lawyer’s kitchen. The cow is still
at home, the lasso lies in the pen
and no one dares to try to get it.
The Captain has gone home deter
mined to have nothing tnor to do
with cows that use their horns.

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 30.—John
W. Brasuie, during his experience
as an undertaker, has met with two
singular cases in exhuming bodies.
On one occasion he was called upon
to exhume the body of a man who
had been buried twelve years.
When the coffin lid was removed,
the body was found to be in an ab
solutely perfect state of preserva
tion, just as if the deceased had died
a moment before.
Not evfen were the eyelids or lips
discolored. The teeth and eyeballs
were perfect The flesh was un
broken and pliant to the touch. The
clothes were without taint, and ev
ery thread was uninjured. Day be
fore yesterday undertaker Brasure
was called upon to exhume a broth
er of the deceased from the same
Bethlehem burying plot This sec
ond brother had been buried twen
ty-nine years. He was about forty
years of age at the time of his death.
This corpse was also absolutely
perfect, even to the preservation of
the hair. The pads under the chin
were as neatly and perfectly folded
as when laid there twenty-nine
years ago. 1 he flesh had taken the
leathery, weather color common to
seafaring men. The eyeballs were
just as moist and perfect as at the
time of death, and Mr. Brasure says
he has exhumed hundreds ol dead
persons, but never met with a case
so remarkable as those of these two
brothers.
Of course the character of the
ground in which they were interred
was the cause of the peculiar pres
ervation. In Frederick, Md.. two
ladies were exhumed some twenty
years ago, after they had been bur
ied some fifty years. They were
perfectly petrified, and can be seen
in an exhibition vault at the present
day.

DR. LANE’S LECTURES.
Dr. Lane is delivering a series of
Sabbath afternoon lectures on Nat
ural Theology.
It is a department of moral sci
ence which was assiduously culti
vated about the close of the last,
and the beginning of the present
century.
All the intellectual wealth of Pa-
ley and Chambers, of Lord Broug
ham and Sir Charles Bell, was lav
ished on it.
Judicious lectures, like Dr. Lane's,
on nature’s revelation of God are
peculiarly appropriate at this lime;
lor the bold and ingenious, but spec-
speculative generalizations ot Dar
win have unsettled the faith of many
semi-educated people, not only as
to the verity of the Bible, but the
first principles of natural religion.
Dr. Lane is seeking to impress his
hearers with a truth, the vivid re
cognition of which is absolutely es
sential to spiritual life: tnat God is
everywhere present throughout the
universe. He maintains that the
luminaries of the sky and the lilies
of the field, the changeful clouds
and the immutable hills, alike, pro
claim the existence of Him—
'•—who alt eth above the heavens.

There is nothing pantheistic in such
teaching. It is designed,and tends,
like the glorious orison, which Mil-
ton ascribes to Adam and Eve in
Paradise, to raise the mind from
nature up to nature’s God. The
last two lectures were devotvd to
the wisdom, power and goodness of
God, as as exhibited in the phe-
nomina of the the lunar and solar
orbs-

it is only by observing the transits
of Venus and the application, of
geometrical principles to those tran
sits, that the exact magnitude apd
distance of the sun have been ascer
tained. Three centuries ago, the
sun was supposed to be five times
the size of the earth. It is now
known to be six hundred times
larger than the entire system of
worlds which are lighted, and
warmed, by its rays Three centu
ries ago, the sun was thought to be
five millions of miles from the earth.
It is now known to be nearly nine
ty-two millions of miles. Yet at
this vast distance we feel a genial
warmth from its fire eddies, which
are thousands of miles wtde, and
flame tongues which whirl and leap
a hundred thousand miles high. On
these wondrous features of the sun

stars. It will be interesting, for

his instrumentality that the Jewish

their freights to that line and thus

fused to go upon the bond of the
railroad once when an engine was
threatened with attachment, thus
showing an unwillingness to assist
the corporation when in trouble,
while Mr. F. Phinizy became its en
dorser for a large sum. Hence
the recognition of the services of
the latter gentleman by making his
son one of the directors was just
and proper. 2d, That Capt. Tal-
madge was instrumental in prevent
ing the Pioneer fire company from
patronizing the North-Eastern,
when it visited Macon. To the
first, Capt. Talmadge replies that
the articles of agreement with the
firm of which he is a member es
pecially stipulates that no one of the
partners shall become an endorser,
and hence, while under other
circumstances it would have af
forded him great pleasure to have
accorded the favor, his hands were
tied and he could not comply with
the request without sacrificing a
business contract. As to tbe Pio
neer trip he had nothing whatever
to do with arranging for transpor
tation, and can so prove by the
members of the company. Thus it
will be seen that the only reasons
given for the displacement .of that
faithful and popular officer could
have been removed in an instant by
President Barrow making known
to Capt. Talmadge his reasons for
the change. Capt. Talmadge is a
self made man. lie came out of
the war without a dollar, and by
good management, unswerving in
tegrity and hard work has not only
built up a fine business and accumu
lated a handsome property, but at
the same time gained the confidence
and esteem of all who know him.
His city has more than once honor-
edJCapt. T. by electing him to- the
highest office within its gift, and
wherever put he has proved faith
ful and efficient. lie is a leader in
every enterprise that can redound
to the inteiest of Athens, and any
thrust aimed at Capt. Talmadge is
keenly felt by the people among
whom he was reared. Except as a
citizen of Athens wc have no pecu
niary interest in the North-Eastern
road, and would not have meddled
with the matter did we not think
that it was due Capt. Talmadge that
the cause of his removal be made
known to the public, and to show
that it was not through any neglect
of duty on his part. We have heard
expressions of opinion from nearly
every merchant in Athens, both
Jew and Gentile, and with one ac
cord they denounce in the most bit
ter terms the act. Several remark
ed that they had shipped their last
pound of freight over the North-
Eastern.

PRACTICAL HINTS TO WEARERS OF
SHOE LEATHER.
When vour feet are wet do not at
tempt to dry your shoes bv the fire, or
when vour feet are cold do’ not put them
on the grate fender or stove hearth to
warm them; such exposure tostrone
heat, If they do not visibly burn the
leather by sudden dryness destroys its
fiber and vitality. Do not stand on a
steam register with a strong blast of hot
air corning up around your feet, when
your shoes are damp, for such tests no
leather can stand. Never use hot lard or
tallow In greasing shoes, ns it is more
harmful than beneficial, but use castor
oil for softening, and then till the pores
with tallow iiud beeswax melted togeth
er which will make it waterproof.
Heed the above hints ami buy vour
