Pf^p^P^PMpHHpHpRlH 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.

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.

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.

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 I have purcba*e<l th© : then ready for business. 1 know of noth- ' ing more painful than the branding of a beast, and I think he knows of nothing more painful himself. The brauds be come obscure in a few years and are neces 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 Express. 1836 I SWIFT’S SPECIFIC.1111886 f i s S s § S s s !
