Constitution on General pglethorpe and the statement of Georgia, an anonymous gentleman writes me to ask if “I know that Georgia was fet tled with a gang of convicts.” I do not know it, and tor the best of reasons. It is not true. The history of the settlement of Georgia is rich in interest and I am tempted into a letter on the subject— ns much for the purpose of correcting my inquiring friend as for the pur pose of giving some curious informa tion to those who have not had the time to delve into colonial histories, or pore over old manuscripts. A VERY IMPORTANT TRAGEDY. y Georgia was settled by a pauper colony, and that, too, by a colony ta ken out of jails, and transported direct to the cmigrantships. At least this is true in a technical sense. Bnt let us look beneath the surface of the state ment. . * The suicide of a man and woman was the positive cause that led to the birth of Georgia. Quite as logica’ly as the slitting of Jeukiu’s ear, led to the Spanish war. In 1728, the person of the debtor in England, was at the JPJBtSSSSS&S&A heavily to . the enterprise.. Parlia ment £26, 1 ve £10,000 at ooq.timp am again. Over one hum' became agents for begging funds, clothing and equipments for the colony. The qpbilijiy became in terested and'.the, settling up of the Georgia colony became the pet project of the . philanthropists—rand philan thropy was then stirred to its depths in Eugland by the tipnnlt that dated from the suicide of the poor book binder and bis wife. So there was no lack ot money with which to give the enterprise a i*ir start. 1 Tf»e debtors were led front their prison cells, fitted up comfortably, put on board a wells provisioned ship, and promised a grant of land upon their arrival in Georgia and a support for a reasonable time. A PICTURE OF UTOPIA. A more charming scheme was never devised in England. With all the glitter of the Sontb sea bubbles, it was also tender, sentimental and pa thetic. There seems to have been a sort ot emotional intoxication about the whole thing. The tints upon the S icture could no: be made too bright, ‘he prisons were to be emptied and mercy of the creditor.

They declared that thfl profit msdo on ^ p^enger I rum was ab*'lutely essential to health - ‘ ■ ° in the swampy and malarial climate'. They also turned upon their benefac tor, Oglethorpe,' ana upon the trustees nftiHinafg&l’ttterii Vith alt' torts of peculation, misdirection and extrava gance. They sent an agent to carry these complaints to parliament. He did so; an I the trustees answered.

It must not.be imagined that aU of the settlers brought over by Georgia under the charter of the trustees were unworthy or inefficient. There were many even ot the English settlers who were taken ont of the prisons that were worthy and devoted men. An efficient and brave dement that was introdoced into the midst of the pauper colony itself was a company of forty Israelites that came over in 1733. The trestees were very much angered at this importation and indignantly revoked toe commission* of the men who were said to have been responsi ble for it. Thev declared that the introduction of Jews would be preju dicial to the colony, was contrary to the designs of the charter, and was an indignity, to the trusts s. They sent Oglethorpe express orders to give these Jews no encouragement. The three men who had sent these Jews over were Jews themselves, and de- (flared that none ot the trustees’ mon ey had been used in the importation, hot that the Jews themselves had provided thefnnds. At any rate, the Jews settled in Savannah, and became t^e very best of citizens. They were industrious, sympathetic, thrifty, and brewe In the Spanish wars they rendered valiant service; in the rev olution they counseled as patriots and fought as heroes, and their descend ants have been and arc [among the most honored of Savannah’s sons. The Bhettalls, the Bussells, the Minn ses, the DeLyons, and I think the Co hens trace their lineage back to these first settlers.

On the blackboard was the picture of an ostrich, and the teacher described its great strength; power ot endurance, closing by saying it was the only bird upon which a man could ride. ‘I know another,’ spoke' up a little chap. ‘Well, what is iiT* ‘A lark.’ Unsuspectingly the teach er asked, ‘how can you prove that,* Johnny ?’ ‘All that I know about,if,’ said the boy, ‘is that mother every little while says father’s oft on a lark, and when be comes back he looks as if he had rode awful fast.’ Do you mean to insult me, sir, hy | calling your dog by my name ?—“Oh,- no, sir, not at all; I only meant terirt- suit the dog.’’ • “Remember who you are talking to sir,” said nn indignant parent .to a facetious boy; “I am your father.” ‘Well, who,* to bla-ne for that??’ said the young impertinence, “tain’t me.” $hey who art naturally cool Ml ora quiet torn of mind, upon wfta.-noth ing can makffTOO powerful Bn imptes- laMi, vtat aitfTMt wont to bttekeited by ttieat soteo# .or great joy, have of living long and manner.
