WEEKLY RANENR-WATCHMAN TUESDAY JULY
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS ,
^The following, from the Savan
nah Newt, it very applicable:
“A few congressional conven
tions have been held, but the sea-
ion of anxiety for the great ma
jority of congressmen it only just
beginning. It can be safely -ssum
ed that nine congressmen out o(
te 1 want to be renominated. The
taste they have had of public lift
at Washington appears to increase
their desire for it. They may not
have met with much success, and
thev may not be conscious of pow
ers that especially fit them for leg
islators, but they, nevertheless, are
willing to make great sacrifices to
score another term.
It is not difficult to understand
why a man who is capable of shin
ing in debate or of extending 1
influence because of his ability to
grasp and solve public questions
should want to return to congres*
term alter term, but why a mm
who is not prominent and has no
prospect of becoming so should
want to return there is one of the
things which are not easy to ex
plain.
l here arc a few congressmen
who seek a re-election for the
pleasures they find in Washington,
nd a few because a congressman’:
salary is larger than they can earn
i i business or profession, but most
(them ate men of more than aver
age ability, who are more or lei-s
prominent-in their respective lc-
calitics and who can earn more
money out of it than in it. It is
theiefore, strange, as already stat
ed, why so many of them want to
stay in congress when thry must sen
that there are neither rewards nor
prizes for them.
Thete are congressmen—and a
good many of them—who ought to
b te-elected as often as they seek
re-election. Indeed, their constitu
ents ought not to wait for them to
ask for a re-election. Congress
men who are capable, honest and
influential ought never to be left in
doubt whether their services are de
sired for another teim, and they
certainly should not be compelled to
struggle for another term. Their
worth should be recognized in the
only way that it can be satisfacto
rily.
There are plenty of men in every
congressional distiict who want to
go to congress. There is no reason
why they should not seek congres
sional honors. Some of them, doubt
less, would make first rate congress
men. A man’s career cannot be
predicted with any degree of cer
tainty. By trial alone can it be de
mined what merit he has. It is a
mistake, however, to abandon a
man who has proved himsell capa
ble for one who is untried.
The thing to be kept in mind is
that no mun has a claim on a public
position which the people are bound
to respect. The people want those
who can serve them best, and if
they don’t gat them it is because
they are in some way defrauded.
In the congressional conventions
which meet within the next two or
three months the aim should be to
nominate men of character and
ability, who give promise of exert
ing an influence in the national leg
islature. Men who have been tried
and have stood the test should be
jfiven the preference over new men.
And men who have been found
wanting, or who do not give prom
ise of becoming conscientious, use-
ul and influential legislators, ought
not to be given a momeni’s consid
eration.
THE NEW PROFESSOR.
The selection o! Dr. William L.
Jones to fill the chair of Natural
History and Agriculture, made va-
. cant by the demise of Gen. Win.
VI. Browne, is in every respect an
idmirableone. ut. Jones for yean
ias been editor of the Southeri.
Jultivator, and his writings on ag
ricultural subjects have been es-
eemed specially valuable. At or.
irr** Dr. Jones was professor of
Chemistry in the University. We
congratulate the board on the *e-
ection, and welcome Dr. Jones to
our city.
The Board of Tiustees of the
State University could not select an
ihler or a more scholarly head for
the Dahloneg* college than Major
W. S. Bassinger. He is a man who
would give high character and
strong purpose to the Agricultural
College, and would admirably cam
out the work of the Me D. W.
Lewis.
A gentleman who died lecentlj
n Paris, left a legacy ol |6,ooo n.
lis niece, in Dubuque, Iowa, who,
appears
died about the
hour ol the same day. The ques-
iun which died tirst, says Gulig-
*iani'« Messenger, upon the i ela
tion of solar to Hue time, and must
•>e determined by the difference ol
longitude. If the niece died at 4
o’clock a. in. and the uncle at u
o’clock a. m , the instants of their
death muvt have Ucn identical
\s«itiming that to be the hour 0! the
testator's death, if the niece died »t
,ny hour between 4 and 10, al
hough the legacy would appa
rently revert to his estate, it would
call/ vest in her and her heirs,
-once by solar time she would actu
.illy have survived her uncle.
The congressional race in the
Sth district, will he a warning to a)!
future aspirants lor congressional
honors, that letters must be answers
ed as soon as received. When a
gentleman writes to another on bus
biess or friendship be looks lor a
reply in a very few days and when
he finds that his letter hijS be
pidgeon holed or torn up it is rcas
onable to suppose that he does not
fetl kindly towards the man whom
he wrote.
JOYS OF A “CROKER” DANCE.
It is getting about time that the
country editor was heading his
articles “A Tiip Through the Coun
try,” or a -‘Delightful I’icnic.*’ The
fishing season is over and the coun
try editor must hustle around.
The Washington Gazette says
that **a public office is a public
trust, ” and postmaster* should be
appointed in the interest of the
people and not to fuither the
chances of congressmen for re-elec
tion.
Last night the political contest
closed in the Sth district, or at least
it is to be hoped that it came to an
end. The Banner-Watchman will
now turn its attention to railroads,
and we hope-to be able to chroni
cle the fact in a few days that dirt
has been broken on the Macon and
Athens road.
Terptlchoreaa Temptation That Pat All
* Baalifolnma to night
Finally a deliberate pizzicato more ment
reveals the fact that the Addle Is in proper
condition, anil an andible and visible ex
cite tncut is seen union? the young people.
*'Git your partners!" screams “Fiddlin'
Jim,” drawing three violent strokes of the
bow, and uttering the command with a
marked rhythmic accent on each word.
The “Addle” and the terpsichorean temp
tation have put all bashfulness to flight;
the most awkward rustic can ask a girl to
dance under the effect of such inspiration;
and “hands across and down the middle"
shake the cabin to its foundations. The
fiddler plays and looks like one iu a sort
of ecstasy. His foot keeps time to the
measure of the rollicking tune, while his
eyes seem fl3.ed upon the blue space which
peers through the cracks of the roof, as If
his soul were floating out, borne aloft
upon hi* own harmonious strains. To
the cultivated ear it is execrable, It is
torture; but “Fiddlin’ Jim” has passed be
yond the regions of criticisms into the un
alloyed bliss of one who sees and knows
no discord.
Ily and by the reel is finished, and only
the champion dancers remain on the floor.
Then begins the tug of war. The true
Greek is well known, and each contestant
has his or her bevy of admirers.
“Now for who lasts the longest!” scream*
“Fiddlin’ Jim.” “Who keen if the river is
up?”
This last defiant interrogatory Is per
fectly intelligible to the company, who
fully appreciate the serious inconvenience
which enters into their lives when the
river is up. Burning Home and swollen
rivers, however, do not Interrupt enthusi
astic fiddlers and dancers. After startling
feats of agility on the part of the men,
and many graceful evolutions on the part
of the girls, most of the dancers are ex
hausted, and take their seats, leaviugone
couple lu possession of the floor. These
two are to do honor to the occasion. The
tiddler is now brought back from his
divine ecstasy tc the realities around him,
ind himself becomes uu ardent partisau,
espousing the cause of the girl, of course,
who perhaps iu her dancing career has
•Inin her mind reds.
“Daute up, Kitty; don’t be afeer’d,"say*
“riddlin' Jim,” encouragiugly.
“Brace up, Sam, or she’ll flag you, old
feller,” mutters one of Sam's companions,
whose friendship gets the better of his
‘ giiiluutry.
Old and young gn/.e at the rival dancers
with intcusest interest and curiosity. The
dancers grow more and more excised.
Kach astonishing feat performed by one
suggest* one still more astonishing on the
pari of the other. Sam's friends applaud,
and Kitty's friends applaud more loudly.
“Make his head swim, Kitty,” suggest*
“Fiddlin’ Jim," who sees Sam’s enthusiasm
inclining to flag. This Kitty proceeds to
by turning rapidly round uud round,
which series of evolutions Sara is bound
>y all the rules of the floor to follow.
This, perhaps, brings the dance to a con
luskui, as Kitty Is able to revolve lotigei
•tud more rapidly than Sam.—ZitellaCocke
11 Brooklyn Magazine.
rim Sttttifttlc* of Comparative Hygiene.
Statistics reveul a good many unsus
pected facts, especially iu the field of com
parative hygiene. A priori, few* persons
would, for instance, suppose that preach
ing and the drudgery of school-teaching
are pre-eminently conducive to longev-
ty, but the logly of arithmetical proofs
hows that parsons and schodl-teachers
unlive not physicians only, but farmers
and shepherds. Shepherds, in fact rank
nxiderably below the average of the list,
and probably spoil their chances for sur-
ivttl by passing their nights iu air-tight
cuUhjscs icabanes de berger), windowles*
taxes on wheels, which they move from
IMisturc to pasture.
Street-cleaniug and chimney-sweeping,
the smuttiest of all manual occupations,
arc less unhealthy than one of the clean
liest—that of a stone-mason. But human
lungs, it seems, can more easily rid them-
selves of soot than of stone-grit, which in
the course of years proves about as deadly
as the steel-dust breathed by kuife-griud-
ers. Carpenters, brick-masons, and hunt-
011 the other hand, outlive farmers,
at least in western Kurope. Farming
should seem the healthiest, because the
most natural, of all occupations, but

A Donkey who was tired of Drawing

for Advice, saying:

“All you have to do is to run away and

Advice, aud next morning when he set

Flogging a Convict In Prison.
As to flogging, it is a last resort. The
instrument is not a cat-o’-nine-tails, but a

inches wide attached to a handle. While
it does not draw blood it stings and
smarts in a way to make a man remember
the event for weeks and weeks. If a con
vict Incomes obstinate he is * taken down'
for punishment. Up to the very moment
when the first blow is struck he can save
himself by promising to return to duty,
Sometimes four or five blows are suffic
ient: ►onteiiines the convicts are obstinate
after twenty-five have been administered.

DISCUSSION OF THE MERITS
GOVERNMENT HORSES.
Hardships or the Service on the West
ern Plains—Selection of Gallant Steed*
for Uncle Sam—Rigorous Examination
—The Last Teat—Good Memory.
A few days ago a reporter engaged fn
conversation with a recruiting sergeant in
the United States cavalry service, and in
the course of the chat the oificer drifted
into the discussion of the merits'of horses
supplied to the service and the manner in
which they are furnished to the govern
ment. Not long since 500 horses were pur
chased in th s city, St. Louis, Chicago and
other large mercantile centres for troops
in the four big western departments of
the Finite, Dakota, Missouri and Texas,
in which divisions it is estimated that
three-fonrths of the army of our country
is comprised.
-Mo.-: of our cavalry horses,” said the
reuni ting sergeant, “are lost on the plains
iu the west. No one here east can con
ceive the rigor of our western military
duties or the hardships they entail for the
soldiers and their beasts. We suppose
that the great west is teeming with ver
dure and forage, whereas the f:i£t is that
iu very many tracts of country scouting
parties are compelled to ride for a week or
more, at the rate of {>erhaps fifty miles a
day, with no grain for their horses and
very little grass by the way. A general
scrutiny of the condemned army horses
Would show that their retirement from
the service is due more to starvation than
anything else. Very often the trooper's
horse drops in the ranks from sheer ex
haustion and others ure so badly used up
that they never recover from the priva
tion and fatigue, and are finally con
demned for tv*e in the field and shipped to
recruiting stations, where they answer
much tatter even than green horses for
drilling recruits.”
PHYMCAL QUALIFICATION'S DKMANDKD.
“What ure the physical qualifications
demanded for the selection of horses for
tin* cavalry service?”
“Well, iu the first place, none but geld
ings are taken. The government does not
cure l- 1 ” stallions or mares. The auiinal

to ii»tt fuel that breeuers urc giving their

ftto d:, which are, of course, too slow for
cavalry purposes. It ia a singular fuel
that iiut’se fh*z*i. r>, as a rule, consider the
govcrnini’i:*- legitimate prey for all sorts
ot imposition. For, ias:anc*», at the last
inspection, only eight out of sixty horses
offered Were accepted. Hostlers trotted
them out for inspection full of confidence
that they could unload their employers’
full stock of useless equities. Some of
the animals' manes and foretops w**re
pi . ted an*I d. corated with strip* of red
flannel. Their tails were done up in com
mon bagging of so bulgy a shape as to
suggest the probability of their being
about ten feet long. Of course, those dec
orations had to come off to make sure
that the tails were all there, and that the
manes were ui hair instead of oakum.
The eyes of a horse under inspection are
closely examined.
A UlCIOUot S EXAMINATION.
“If lie, iu general outline, is regarded a?
worthy of consideration ut all, lie is sub
mitted to a rigorous examination—which
trtkis up about n quarter of an hour—all
over lorn from his teeth to his fetlocks and
hooffs. Then the hostler is directed to
I walk the Animal up and down the length
I ofthe yard and afterwards to run him us
fast a-* the beast can go. If his action is
easy he is ordered ‘tied in’ for the final
inspection.
“The last test is a run up hill fur u dis
tance of -00 yards or so to see if his wind
is goo l. No saddle is used. The hostler
simply mounts and trots to the starting
point, riding back as fast as a liberal up-
plication ofteowhide to his beast can carry
him. If the horse passes this muster he
is purchased and led to the blacksmith
shop to be branded. His first decoration
is a big V. S. outlie left shoulder. When
he is detailed to a regiment he is burned
again with the regimental brand and with
the brand of his company on the left hip.
For more perfect identification he receives
an additional marking on the hoof aud is

' ing more painful than the branding of a
beast, and I think he knows of nothing
more painful himself. The brauds be

sarily renewed. It is a peculiar fact that
when the time comes for renewing the
operation nine out of ten animals remem
ber the previous dose, and it is no easy
matter to report it.—New York Mail and
