A farmer in Greene county has
saved twenty-five tons of bermuda
grass hay off of one acre ofland, says
an exchange. That is rather a large
story; but it is a good text. XVe shall
not preach a sermon, but we merely
want to say to the farmers that there
is money in every blade ot grass on
their farms. Save the grass, and
you will save paying a big price lor
forage next winter.
THE DIVORCE LAWS.
MCEEH
The Sumter Republican claims to
be the largest weekly in the state,
except the XVeekly Atlanta Constitus
tion, the XVeekly Augusta Chronicle
& Constitutionalist, the XVeekly Mas
con Telegraph & Messenger, the
Weekly Savannah News and the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate. The
Republican is one column larger than
the Weekly Banner, but it costs twice
as much. The XVeekly Banner, at $1
a year, is the cheapest weekly in the
state—without any exception.
It is to be regretted that the law
does not pay legislators a salary—
say $30C a year. Then if they want
ed to stay at the capital and consume
a whole year, in amending the act to
amend the act to fix the compensa
tion of constables in Charlton county,
or in repealing the act to authorize
Jeremiah Tootle of Tattnall, to build
a fish-trap in Muddy creek, they
could do so, and the treasury would
be none the worse off. As it is, every
day of the session adds to the ex
pense, and the work of many of the
days would belter be left undone.

Most of our readers, we are sure,
will be glad to hear of the good for*
tune which has recently come to Gen.
Gordon and Gov. Colqnilt, as re*
cently stated in the Banner. That
statement was incorrect in one par
ticular—the proportion of the $700,.
000 which fell to each one. That
amount was divided equally among
the four partners. The Constitution,
n few days since, gave the lull par
ticulars of the transaction. Besides
the $700,000 in cash which has beeu
paid to these gentlemen, they own
81,000,000 worth of stock in the
Richmond & Danville extension
company—a company which is now
engaged in building the Georgia Pa
cific road, and this stock is said to be
at a premium.
XVe congratulate these distirN
gnished gentlemen on the large
wealth which they have acquired,
and there are thousands of people
throughout the state—and beyond—
who will hear of it with intense pleas
ure.
The House passed the bill allowing
a divorce lrom bed and board on the
verdict ot one special jury. XVe hope
the senate will not pass the bill. It
ought not to be easy to get a divorce.
The shameful laws on this in
some of tho northern states, and their
deplorable consequences, should make
Georgia slow to remove any of the
obstacles to divorce. The present
law requires the concurrent verdicts
of two juries. It is a wise law and
has worked well. If divorces are
easily obtained, more persons will be
tempted to sue for them. Husband
and wife will be loss inclined to en
dure minor unpleasantnesses and dis
agreements—less inclined to bear and
forbear with one another; and they
will find less inducement to regard
marriage as a life*tinie engagement.
Let it be understood that it is next
to impossible to untie the marriage
knot, and matrimony will be entered
into all the more cautiously ; and liavs
ing once been entered upon, many
things will be endured and thus cured
which, uuder lax divorce laws, would
lead to separation.
Jesus Christ, the Savior and Great
Teacher of mankind, declared that
there should be no separation of those
married, save for one cause ; and the
nearer human laws come to this, the
nearer perfect they will be. “Incora'*
palibilitv of temper” is a variable
thing. Sometimes it means more;
sometimes leas. In many cases—in
most cases, we may safely say—it can
he cured by hearty and united effort.
If it cau be readily made a cause of
divorce, its tendency will be to aggra
vate itself instead ot curing itself.
XVe do not believe that there ever
was or ever will be an incompatibility
ot temper between husband and wife
so great that it could not be overcome
if the parties truly love each other.
It is desire for license and not for
liberty which frequently impels those
who seek to bo divorced. The laws
ou this subject, then, should be made
as stringent as possible. Let married
people understand that it is easier to
reconcile their differ ences than it is to
obtain a divorce, and there will be
more inducement to reconcile and less
to attempt separation. The present
law should certainly not be relaxed,
and we hope the senate will counter
act the work ot the house, on the
subject.

draw off bia entire supply. Ten
fonrth of July s and three circus pa
rades would leave him just as full as
he was when he begun.
this morning.’ said Mr. Talmage,
‘give a ray of hope, and who knows
but our President may come forth
and ride in these streets in triumph.
God grant it! [Applause.] But the
indications are not iu that direction,
and while I comfort you I must com
fort my own soul. ;
‘Alleviation first: James A. Gar
field is prepared to exchange worlds
if God sees fit to call him, tor he long
ago settled the matter of his future.
There was nothing ot cant or whining
or lugubriousness about his religion.
He had outsandsout faith in God, as
his sermons in churches, yes, and his
speeches in Congress haveshown. The
lust thing that he did before leaving
his home in Mentor to go to Wash
ington to take his oath ot office was
to partake of the sacrament of the
Lord’s Supper, and tears rolled down
his face while he did it. He has said
to one of his physicians that he is
ready to go, and if he dies his deaths
bed will be in the most radiant sense
a Christian deathbed. It puts me
more than ever in love with the old
Gospel, the Gospel of One who died
by cruel assassins. O Christ, pity,
then, the anguish ot our beloved
President! He is the most pronounced
Christian of any President we ever
had.
‘Alleviation second: Ilis family will
be magnificently provided for.
‘Alleviation third: If our Presi
dent dies, then this nation, without a
moment’s halting, will march right
on to continued prosperity. It the
President had died when he was shot
then there would have been other
pistol shots, panic, and perhaps na
tional delirium. The heart of the na
tion is very sore, but its head is level.
[Applause.] Oue life will be taken,
but not by mob law. A Judge will
take his place on his bench; a jury
will, in silence like that of the grave,
listen to testimony and argument; a
sentence will be given; a stout rope
,wilt be procured; a gallows erected,
and this accursed Guiteau will
hanged by the neck until he be dead.
[Continued applause.] All this will
soon he behiud us, and thb nation
will move on. As to the man who
will take the President’s place >f he
dies, I say, give him a fair chance.
Some politicians prophesy trouble
ahead,but I make a religious prophecy,
and it is this: God will give a special
blessing in a special emergency, and
the chief ideas of Garfield’s administia-
tion will be carried out by Gen. Ar
thur’s administration: Postmaster
General James has sent'eonsternation
into the ranks of the Star Route con
tractors. Secretary XVindom has
wrought a miracle of financiering.
Secretary Lincoln, [applause] ad
mired by all for his own and tor his
father’s sake [applause], will remain.
All will stay. There will be great
delicacy in the management of the
administration, you say. Yes I re
ply; and I add that the opportunity
will he unlimited and unequalled.
‘Alleviation fourth: If he dies,
then the president dies at the best
time. He suffered enough abuse in
the political campaign last fall to last
one man a life time He would have
had much trouble in carrying out
some of his reforms, even if he could
have accomplished them at all. I
speak of such as his intentions of ex
tirpating Morinonism. The licence
of the printing press is getting to be
something damnable. The President
dies to escape more insult. The great
er his contemplated reforms, the
greater the insults to him. In six
months he has accomplished more
than other Presidents undertook to
accomplish in four years, and failed at
that. I mean the complete and eters
nal pacification of north and south.
More meetings are held in the south
than in the north to express sympa
thy tor the President. An influence
goes from that sick room that will last
as long as the Government stands.
Alleviation fifth: This business of
office-seeking is disgustingly offensive.
It is full ot unmingled and burning
revenge. It was just this that shot
the president: *Give me what I want
or I will kill you.’ For months alter
the inauguration the hotels of X\ T ash-
ington were roosts for these buzzards.
Guiteau was no rarity; all the others 1
were mad enough to shoot the pres
ident, but they hadn’t the courage.
You could see the thirst for blood in
their eyes Harrison and Taylor were
worried to death by place-hunters.
Jackson said in conversation once :
‘Sir, people want to be President of
the United Slate. I want to tell ’em
this place is a perfect hell!’ In God’s
name [Mr. Talmage thrust both arms
rigidly above his head] let this thiug
stop. Three Presidents have beeu
sacrificed.
‘Alleviation sixth : This outburst of
sympathy for the President is sublime.
It comes from everybody and in every
direction, in all manner of shapes and
at all times. Men before me would
bare the arm for the lancet, crying,
‘Pour my blood into his veins!’ [Ap
plause.] How strange that a sick bed
should make a millennium !’
‘Alleviation the last. The uncer
tainty ot human life impresses ns.
The most brilliant mind which ever
occupied the White Honse [applause],
he started out for a holiday, and was
taken back in an ambulance. If he
only could get well, how we would
ring bells, fire cannon, and toach off
pyrotechnics! [Applause.] But I fear
that the message will soon come shud*
six
of the storm. The damage was very
great. A feeling of uneasiness and
apprehension generally prevailed, and
words are inadequate to describe the
fierceness and destructiveness of the
gale. The globes on scores of the gas
lamps were broken by the fallen
limbs! and tho lights extinguished.
Darkness was thus added to the ap
palling character of the night. The
northern Iront of the market building
was blown in and the roof badly dam
aged, and presents a very shocking
appearance, rather dangerous in its
present condition. Many persons
were afraid to occupy the upper
stories of their houses, and there
were hundreds who enjoyed but
little sleep, remaining up all night in
apprehension of trouble.
The tin roof of the Morning News
building was torn up and carried off,
and the rain poured throilgh in tor
rents, flooding the composing room,
and the compositors finished their
work ankle deep in water. The rain
continuing, the water forced its way
through the ceiling into the various
departments of the office, including
the editorial rooms, the bindery, job
department, ana even to the press
room and paper wareroom. The
damage ih very great.
At last the night of horror came to
an end, and daylight dawned unon
such a scene of wreck and ruin as has
never before been witnessed within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
The memorable storm of 1854,though
in the memory of some, possibly as
severe, was not as destructive and
prolonged, and the damage was not
as general. Throughout the entire
city, from the eastern to the western,
ami from the northern to the south
ern borders, there is not a street or
square which does not show the ef
fects of tbe frightful gale of the 27th
of August, 1881, which will pass
into history as an event that brought
in its train fearful desolation, woe and
destruction.
From East Broad to XVest Broad
there were few buildings that entirely
escaped the fury of the storm. Nearly
all the offices ou the north side ot the
Bay were damaged ou tho river front
and the roofs of many were carried
away. A number of stocks ot goods
were badly damaged. All the parks
and cemeteries suffered; trees are
down and railings broken and rained.
The Georgia infirmary is a wreck.
Some of the patients were slightly
injured. Several steamers and yachts
were more ’or less damaged. The
new yacht Georgia Belle was blown
away and has not been found. The
steamer Carrie was driven some dis
tance into the marsh. A house was
swept into the river with Mr. Stokes,
his wife and two children. Mrs. Stokes
and the children were drowned. The
nee plantations have been seriously
damaged. Mr. Richard Fitzgerald,
engineer of the steamer H. B. Plant,
was drowned. The loss of life among
the colored people occupying the
little huts on the rice plantations aud
along the river must be very great.
All these huts have disappeared, and
it seems impossible that with such
disadvantages to eontend against that
they could all have saved themselves.
On Tybee Island, the house of
Mr. Henry Solomon was blown down,
and in a few minutes the ruins took
fire. Mrs. Solomon and her son Na
thaniel were rescued. Mrs. George
ana Wolf, and daughter ot Z. Falks,
Esq., and her little daughter, Hallio,
and her young brother, Joshua Falks,
perished in the flames. These unfor
tunate victims were crushed to death,
as Mrs. Wolf’s skull was found to be
fractured, and uo cries were heard
except from those who were after
wards rescued. Several other houses
on the Island were blown down. The
family of David Bowens, comprising
his wife and six children, were all
drowned, their cabin, on the planta
tion of Dr. Waring, being washed
into the river, which was raging high
at that point. Directly opposite to
this piace, a cabin was washed away,
aud a colored woman and tour chil
dren were drowned,
Henry Douglas, colored, reports
that all hands on Shad Island were
drowned. He and his wife and four
childreu were in their house, which
was upset, and all were lost except
himself. On the Augnsta road, two
miles from the city, a house occupied
by colored people was blown down
about eight o’clock, by the gale, and
Jennie Ann Jackson, a child aged
three years, was killed. The child’s
falhei had his arm broken. At Louis
ville, about three miles from the city,
on the Middle Ground road, a house
was prostrated by the storm about
nine o’clock, and burying beneath the
ruiDS Willie Menor, killed him in
stantly.

A Blind Hiapr.
From the Birmingham Observer. .,
About two weeks ago a-maii came
to XVarrior Station (a mining region
twenty-one miles north of Birming
ham, on tho South and North Ala-
bama. Railroad) seeking employment
as a miner of coal. When it was dis
covered that he was stone blind he
.was laughed at, aud it was though tan
impossibility "for a blind mao to dig
coal. He persisted in his efforts to
secure a place, only asking that a fair
test be given him. After a short time
he was carried into the mine and there
proved .his efficiency as a miner. He
works without a lamp, as that .would
be offfio benefit to &'person deprived
6f eyesight.'' The coal mined by this
man is said to be as dear of slate and
dirt as that of any one employed in the
mines, and the yield from* his room as
great as that of ether miners His
little son leads-him to the mines and.
into his work room, leaving bis father
during the day, who digs coal, sepa
rates it from the dirt and other sub
stances, keeps the roof of his room
propped up, loads the small cars and
pushes them out to i:be main track, as

3Irs. CnrOfld's Unflinching Determination.
From the Post.
XX’Xshin'gton, Aug. 29."—As hope
returns, more is learned in detail of
the terrible anxiety ot last Friday. It
appears that the surgeons, after the
alarming symptoms of the morning,
decided that it was useless longer to
continue the struggle, and two of them
were selected to wait upon Mrs. Gar
field and to inform her that medical
science could do no more and that she
must prepare for the worst. The in
terview which occurred between these
surgeons and Mrs. Garfield will, if re
ports are true, be regarded as one of
tbe most dramatic incidents in this ex
traordinary ca«e. Capt Henry, Mar
shal of this District, a friend ot tho
President and his family, says that
Mrs. Garfield heard the news with
great composure, and that smothering
her emotion, she arose aud said:
‘Gentleman, you shall not give him
up. He is not a going to die. He
is going to live. I feel, I know it. Go
back to your post, every one of you,
and leave it not until every remedy is
exhausted, until death itself has set its
seal upon him, for I will not believe
that he is dying. Go back and do
what you can. X r ou cannot do more,
but don’t give up. I am his wife, and
I say that we will not give up until
the end itself is upon us.’ Mrs. Gar-
held has never surrendered more than
a moment or two at a time to her
grief, and then she has retired to her
room, and after a brief absence has
returned to her post of duty) at the
President's bedside.
AFFAIRS IN GEORulA.
An Abundance ot Corn.
Tbe advance in corn Has checked
the manufacture o f whiskey, and now
the probability is that tbe dear people
who will have whiskey will have to
pay higher for it than they have been
doing. It is astonishing how many
pleasures m this life depend upon a
lull corn crop, and it is still more as
tonishing that people do not take more
care to secure a full crop. An abun
dance of corn makes almost every ne
cessity of life cheap in this country.
And yet there are some people who
will*drink just as much whiskey as
ever before.

It seems that tho estimate’ of $1-
000,000 loss in Savannah from the
storm will not be far out of the way.
Three negroes outraged the wife of

The. Parotid Glands.
Phi!adelphia.Timc».
Now everybody will be wanting to
know all abont the parotid glands, the
right one of which in the President is
reported as in a state of inflamation.
These glands derive their name from
two Greek words which express the
idea of nearness to the ear. They lie
one on each cheek, below the ear and,
of course, forward of it. The functiou
of these glands is the secretion of sali
va, and they are the largest of
any ot the salivary glands. Each
is furnished with a tube or duct a lit
tle over two inches long, which opens
on the inner part of the cheek, oppo
site the upper jaw. Each gland
weighs about one ounce. The other
salivary apparatus is composed ot the
sub maxillary gland and the sublin
gual glands, which He, as their names
indicate, the former under the lower
jaw and the latter under the tongue.
In protracted low fevers the parotid
gland is frequently the seat of fevers,
and sometimes even of abscesses. In
flammation of this gland, although
annoying and painful, is not necessa
rily a serious symptom.
Why they Handed him In Efltgy.
Chicago, III., Aug. 28.—A special
from Quincy gives the following facts
relative to the burning in effigy of the
editor of tbe Herald. ‘On the lllh
inst. the editor of the Daily Herald,
in a leading editorial, issued this lan
guage : ‘We beiteve Guiteau to he
)tist as honorable as the mau he shot,
and a mighty sight less dangerous to
the country at large.’ The Herald
editor has, from time to time since
that date, reiterated and aggravated
this statement by such assertions as
‘When the doctors finish Guitoau’s
work, as they seem likely to do, there
will be no national sorrow.’ He also
added that he bad the support ‘of all
reputable democrats everywhere.’
Public indignation against the Her
ald ran high among reputable demo
crats as well as republicans, and the
feeling of anger culminated last night
in tbe banging and burning in effigy
of the editor of the Herald, together
with a companion effigy to Guiteau.
In this demonstration both republi
cans and democrats were engaged,
but no personal violence of any kind
was attempted or proposed.'
