Tuesday, April 1, 1879.
We notice that a Royal Sister is in
Atlanta making a crusade against the
Catholics. We may now confidently
expect her to be shortly followed by
one who proposes tho shortest and
easiest method of destroying the
Jews.
The Democrats in Congress are
standing firm in the position they
have assumed relative to the jrolitical
legislation of the present session,
while the stalwarts are greatly dis
turbed at the [position of affairs, and
are seeking to stiffen the President
on their side. A protracted and ani
mated session may be looked tor.
S iinual J. tiaud.tu is sjteakcr of
the llonse of Representatives tor the
third term. The honor of occupying
the S| leaker’s chair three terms in
succession has heretofore been enjoys
ed by but five gentlemen, viz., Nath
an Macon ot North Carolin i, Henry
Clay of Kentucky, / ndrew Stevenson
ot Virginia, Schuyler Colfax oQIndi-
fna, and James G. Blaine of Maine.
Will
the Northeastern
Extended P
lie
Over 80.000 tons of guano have
been regularly inspected and sold in
Georgia during the present season.—
The cash value of it is not much less
than three million five hundred thous
and dollars.
'Dial’s the question our citizens are
now anxiously and seriously asking
themselves, and which the Board of
Directors should positively and as
serious y answer. It seems to be
the well founded opinion ot most per
sons that if this road is not extended
within a comparatively short time,
then all our hopes in that direction
wi'l he at an end. This opinion is
based upon these tacis: the road is now
new; out of debt, with its bonds at
a premium ; in qnile a prosperous
and paying condition, with considera
ble net profit upon its annual busi
ness ; and that now is tho most favor
able time for the road to extend it
self; that if delayed tor a few yeais
uutil new engines, new cars, new
iron, new cross-tics, and indeed every
thing about the road, will have to he
bought and made anew, then th:
ability of the present forty miles of
road will about be to keep itself in
lepair. This status of affairs, conse
quent upon delay, would of course
banish ail prospect of an extension of
the road, unless some speculative
company or corporation should step
in and extend it to Rabun Gap, thus
giving such company or corporation
control of that portion of the road
already completed, and which would
undoubtedly be used more to its in
terest, than to the good of Athens
and the present owners of the road.
The present apathy in regard to this
enterprise, and a true luisines- like
view and treatment of a matter upon
which so entirely depends the vitality
of our city, it does seem to us, should
since equals in fierce intolerance and
vindictive abuse those cenrover-
sies, the traces of which we meet in
the early cccksiastical writings.—
When tbs conversion of Constanstine
made Christinui: v the State religion
of the Roman Empire, heresy and
schism were partially crushed by ap
pliances which np nation iu Christen
dom would allow to-day, and the dy
ing Paganism was extinguished by
treatment still more severe and merci
less. We doubt uhelher the warm
est admirer of Christian antiquity
would willingly endure a repetition of
the scandals which accompanied the
final establishment of the doctrine of
Trinity, or would care to conquer
“scientific scepticism” as Cyril, patri
arch of Alexandria, conquered Pla
tonic philosophy in the person of Hy
patia. 'V hen we read of that fair and
innocent girl “ dragged through the
streets, murdered in the most barbar
ous manner, and her mangled limbs
thrown imo the dames,” the savagery
ot the Sioux and Cheyennes become
respectable by comparison. It the
progress of the true faith is to be esti
mated by tne extinction of the false,
then what are termed “the Middle
Ages” stand pre eminent in the annals
of the church. Heresy and schism
had vanished ; neither scepticism nor
science dared t<> show its head ; doubt
wu9 merged into unquestioning belief,
and devotion was the business ot life.
‘Study the records ot that period and
see it mankind would he the better for
its return. Interminable wars,
which whoever won, the. people lost ;
ignoiance and superstition among the
low, vice and crime among the high ;
| fewer comforts in the palaces of kings
Wc again return thanks to our
friend, Mr. Chas. S. Reese, for inter
esting papers sent us from San Fran
cisco. Among the laic numbers sent
ns is the North-China Daily News,
published in the city of Shanghai.
This is an exceedingly interesting
n ier, printed in English, and shows
cgrec of: dvancement in civiliza
tion, science, literature, fine arts, and
general commercial importance, far
beyond what most of our people sup
pose From the Commercial reports
given in its columns, wc find that the
banking institutions in Shanghai are
much larger and stronger in capital,
than our American banks, and that
tho rate of interest on money, : s
much lower. From the Market or
Domestic reports we find the follow
ing tacts, which may prove interest
ing to some of our readers. Eeef-G
to 8 cents per pound. Mutton 13 to
10 cents per |>oond. Pork 14 to 25
cents j>er pound, with sausages from
20 to 25 cents per pound. Butter
$1 per pound. Cream 50 ct-als per
pint Chickens and eggs about the
same os in our markets. Turkey
gobblers, 86 50 each. Turkey hens,
S3 to 83 50 each. Deer, 81,10 each.
Ducks 40 cents per pair. Geese 75
•3 mis each Rabbits 25 to 30 cents
each. Potatoes are worth 82,25 per
picul or 133$ pounds. The market
aoounds in other vegetables which
are quoted at about American
prices.
arouse our whole people to action, and
to their foreing the present Board of
Directors to a movement in the mat
ter of extension, or to “step down and
out,” that more active, energetic and
enterprising persons may take their
places.
The Agriculturist.
We call attention to the Agricul
turist, which in future will he
issued regularly as a supplement to
the Southern Banner. It will be
devoted almost exclusively to agricul-
tuic, household and domestic inter
ests, with only sufficient of other
interesting matter to make it highly
attractive ai.d readable. It will al
ways-'SBoutain the latest corrected
market reports. It is true it
makes but a small appearance at first,
hut as our opportunities and the in
terest therein increases, we shall en
deavor to make it a most valuable
and interesting supplement to .the
Southern Banner. We have al
ready had the promise of some of the
very best agriculturalists of. our sec
tion to furnish original articles for tho
Agriculturist, and wc now earn
estly invite all who feel an interest in
the success ol agriculture and publica
tions in the interest of that scieuce to
aid us by becoming contributors to
the Agriculturist.
Wc should like to be able at an
early date to so enlarge this publica
tion as to fnrnish a column for the ag
riculture news of every county m
North Georgia. Let us have the as
sistance of the farmers and we
promise a publication which they will
prize.
A Fine Fraternal Messen
ger.
For the benefit of those who like to
court the presence of Northerners in
our midst, and who go out ol the way
to obtain their advice to us as South
ern people, we extract the following
from the Atlanta Sunday Gazette,
“ L ist summer there caine to At
lanta “ a fraternal messenger” from
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
North, to the M. E. Church, South
Ilis name was Fowler, D. D., LL.D.
He was an oily-tongued man, witn
unctuous palm, an:l dimmed eyes. He
was so full of the milk ot human
kindness that he could hardly keep his
face straight. Since his return home,
he has written the following about us:
‘1861!—1879!—This week the Leg
islative department of the United
States falls into the hands of the men
who ruled in 1861. They have the
same spirit that actuated them when
they went out. The field was the
weak place in ’61, .therefore, they
struck with the sword. The treasury
is the weak place now ; therefore, we
may expect the blow there.’’
Having lived to hear eulogies pro
nounced in the United States Senate
on Jeff. Davis, the author of the star
vation policy of Adersonville, and the
great repudiator of earlier 'days, we
are prepared to sec him pushed tor
any post. We fear that the Demo
crats of the North will be as helpless
now as they were before.
The spirit ot 1861,revived in 1879,
must be judged by its history. The
poisoning of Harrison and Taylor,
and the attempted poisoning of
Buchanan, and the shooliDg of, Lin
coln, the killing of eveiy president
In another column we publish the
speech of Hon. Alex. H. Stephens
before the democratic caucus of Con
gress. Mr. Stephens in his position,
as t« the duties of the extra session ot
Congress, rises to the full measure of
the true statesman that he is, and brings
back, fresh to memory, those better
days of the republic, when his lead in
the United States Congress, was one of
the sure guarantees of sound legislation.
The honest, intelligent, and thinking
people throughout the whole country
will uphold Mr Stephens iu his post
tion so full of wisdom, so true in ]«
triotism, and so sound in Statesman
ship. As to his position upon the ob
noxious revenne laws, we can but
congartulate ourselves that the views
the Banner has ever entertained upon
this question, are the samo as those
now so forcibly announced by the
ablest of Georgia’s representatives
than a re now in the cottages of peas
ants; no laws except the edicts o.‘ ty
rants, no governments except rnmix-
ed despotism—and hardly a single
ray of light to gladden tlie dark and
dismal night. Light did come with
the revival ot literature and art, hut
only enough to make the darkness
visible. From the thirteenth to the
sixteenth century the human mind was,
so to speak, struggling out o! the
swamp to the solid ground—from
which to begin that onward march
whose end is not yet. Would we care
to repeat that struggle now ? Can we
even fancy a condition of mortals
which permitted the nobles ladies of
Italy-to enjoy l occacio's “Decame
ron” more than their prayer book ; a
pious queen of Navarre to write the
‘•Heptameron,’’ aud clergy and laity
to take delight in the iuettable nasti
ness of Rarelais? Would any good
Catholic want another Alexander the
Sixth ? Would any good l’rotestant
want another Archbishop of Canter
bury who could, like Cranmer—
“whose voice we still hear in the ac
cents of the English Liturgy’’—write
a letter to his Queen discussing the sa-
crement and use an expression so ob-
scence that no modern Q newspaper
would print it? Would either Cath
olics or Protestants want such a cru
sade as that of Charles V. and Phillip
II. in the Netherlands, when, accord
ing to Grotious, 100,000 persons per
ished by the hand of the executioner?
Would either Catholics or Protestants
endmse the proscriptive measures
which then prevailed against the Jews ?
or the spiritual tyranny which sent
Galileo to his knees aud a prison, and
Bruno to the stake ? or the fiery zeal
which has given such tin unenviable
fame to Torquemuda? or the cold
blooded fanaticism ifliich impelled
Calvin to destroy Sarvetus ? Coming
a little lower down the stream of
events, would our English frieuds de
sire a second infliction of the iron-clad
religion of Cromwell, or of. the reck
less sensuality of Charles II ? Would
TZ
we ever saw People may sneer at
the “old man’s remedy” as" much as
they please, hut when they are afflic
ted jrst let them try it. It h:is saved
many lives aud much .pain, and is
worthy of being printed in letters of
gold and put in every home.
Evenings at'Home.
It is a bad sign when a husband
does not spend his evenings at home.
Some men’s business ditties will not
permit them to do so, and they are
excusable, but are nevertheless most
unfortunately placed in life for enioy ■
ing the sweetest' and best part' of
home happiness.. It is even a iWorse
sign when the wire and mother pre
fers to spend her evenings elsewhere
than in the home circle of which she
should he the center and the ligh’*
Bad, likewise, is it when the young
folks find their enjoyment away from
home, or are kept in .at night only by
an autno’ ity from which they long to
be tree. Between a lawless freedom
and a stern restraint lor children there
is not much to choose Each course
sends thousands to their ruin every
yestr. It is a pity there can’t be a
play-room in every house where there
are young children, fitted np with
simple gymnastic apparatus; kept
clear of furniture, so that all sorts ol
lively games and indoor sports may
be indulged in, and open to the hoist
crous little folks whenever they want
a “spree.” But it is uot much to
give up an early evening lionr in the
sitting-room for some one of the many
pleasant ways in which people cau en
tertain each other when they set
about it. Don’t save all of. your
“good times,” any more than yoi r
good manners, for company. There
are two-months more of “evenings at
home.” If the reading has flagged,
or the old games grown stale,
devise new methods of amusement.
What would you do if a dozen friends
were coming in lor an eveniug ? Can’t
you do as much for the children?
Dou’t be afraid of fun, good people,
even it it be a little noisy, aud prize
it enough to plan for it — Golden
Ride.

The spirit that murders thousands ol

killing two more men for the control

A Senator on Farmers.
Senator Paddock, of Nebraska,
himself a lawyer, uttered the follow
ing in the United States Senate in a
speech in favor of extending the pa
tronage of the government over the
agricultural interest of the country:
“I hope, Mr. President, the day will
some time come when our Congress
will be made np more largely from
the agricultural class; for the larger
the percentage of representation here
in the persons of‘those engaged in
practical agriculture, the more liberal
wi’l be the policies of the government
in respect of it. I say - this, Mr.
President, with all dne respect to the
300 lawyers, more or less, who to day
oocupy seats in the two houses of
Congress. It is true, hou'ever, that
the record and all post. experience do
not greatly eucoorage this hope, for
history discloses the fact that although
those engaged in prrtieal agriculture
since the existence anywhere of organ
ized society have uniformly outMuitn-
hered those employed in all other
vocations combined, they have asja
rule had the smallest particpatioif at
any in the direction of the afikirfiof
government. Undoubtedly fartners in
our country occupy a higher plane
socially and politically than actual
tillers of the soil bare heretofore held
any where- ..
Seasonable Words of Caution
Physicians say that every kind of
cold, bronchitis, diptheyia, sore throat
and pulmonary complaints are re
markably prevalent now. Sensible
people ought to reflect that nine tenths
of these troubles arise irom prevent-
ably causes. Wet feet are probably
the first cause of a good many of them.
There is no excuse for any one who
catches cold from wet feat Over
shoos are cheap, and in this climate
they ought to be worn all the time
between the 1st of November and the
1st of May. It is never safe to be
without them, except in summer
Henry Ward Beecher ascribes his ro-
burst health mainly to the wearing of
overshoos; and all other men who
know how to take care of themselves
testify to tfie same efiect. Another
cause of throat and lung diseases is
insufficient clothing. Girls and woraeu
who go “low necked and short-sleeved”
to parties, take oil' their flannels to do
so; and when consumption declares
itself, woDder how they got it A still
more general cause is overheating and
bad ventilation indoors The lungs,
parched and poisoned in the house,
are in ill condition to breathe cold or
moist air out ot doors. Carbonic acid
gas puts them in a state of incipient
inflammation before the/ meet the
fresh air at all. Attention to these
simply dictates of common sense
wold prevent, we believe, a large pro
portion of the dangerous coughs and
colds in this community which do not
come from constitutional weakness or
predisposition; and in the latter class
of cases the need of careful watching
is greater.

Did time and space permit, it
would not be difficult td show that
even in the apostolic era there was
very little peace and harmony between
the. Fanline and Petrine wings of the
infiint church, and quite as much bit
terness and jralousy as are displayed
in sectarian warfare to day. When
the apostles gave place to the fathers,
jealousy and bitterness increased with
the increase 'of heresy and schism, and
no controversy that has ever occurred
if they could, the time when Baptists
and Quakers were whipped through
the streets of Boston, and a Catholic
priest was in danger of the halter?—
when witches were hanged at Salem
and the ‘bine law.-” tormented Con
necticut ? Would the followers of
Wesley welcome his return to earth
if he brought with him the impudent
corruption, the shameless iniquity, the
utter rottenness of the age in which lie
lived ? Did St. Bernard, Loyola
and Wesley so thoroughly atone for
all the evils of their day and genera
tion that Christendom would repeat,
if it could, the experiences between
1091 and 1153; between 1401 and
1566; between 1703 and 1791 ?
We assert, without the slightest
fear of successful contradiction, that
this much abused latter half of the
nineteenth century, with all its “decay
of piety,*1 all its “religious laxity,’’ all
its “ scientific scepticism and sham
religion,’’ is a better age than any of
its predecessors. We assert that there’s
more genuine philanthropy, more un
selfish charity, more practical morali
ty, more liberality of the heart and
pocket, more of the true Christ-like
spirit, more of the golden-rule religion
among nations and individuals, in this
age than any previous age. Far very
far, ns we are from perfection, we are
much nearer that ideal standard than
those who have gone before us. Our
successors will be nearer than we;
their successors will be nearer than
they ; and so the education and eleva
tion of the race will go an, until the
limit of human capacity is reached.—
That faith is poor and feeble indeed
which cannot, or will not, see that the
world is steadily going forward and
not backward; and that though there
may be eddies and counter currents
here and there, in which the reaction
ary rubbish of the times floats into
temporary prominence, the mighty
river of human destiny is sweeping
onward into the Infinite ocean,

Something Worth Knowing.
Every little while, writes a corres
pondent, we read - of some one who
has stuck a rusty nail in his loot, or
knees, or hand, or some other portion
of bis persou, and that lockjaw has
resulted therefrom, of which the per
son dies. If every person in the
world was aware of a perfect remedy
for all such wounds, and would apply
it, then all such reports must, cease.
But although we can give the reme
dy, we cannot enforce its application.
Some will not employ it because they
think it too simple; others will have
no' faith in it when . they read it;
while others often think such a
wound of small acc unt,* and not
worth fussiag over, until it is too late
todo any good. Yet all such wounds
can be healed without the fatal con
sequences which follow them. The
remedy is ample, almost always on
hand, and can be applied by any
one ; and what is better, it is infalli
ble. It is simply to smoke the wound,
or coy bruise or wound that is in
flainid, with burning wool or woolen
doth. Twenty minutes in thesmoke
of wi ol will take tho pain out of the
worst WJund, and repeated once or
twice, it will allay the worst case of
