press to you my profound gratitude for
the most kind and generous editorials
in your issues of the 5th sfh I 6th insts.
1 assure you that I do most heartily

and.noble words spoken to defend me,
in my absence, from what I can but
consider unjust and unfair attacks.
Certain considerations, which are in-
part set forth in my card in the 'At

making any statement at this time con
cerning the matter at issue. I can only
say that I have every confidence, and in
fact assurance, that the final issue will
be such as will be satisfactory to myself
and my friends and as should in no
wise impair the trust In my ability and
integrity which you have so freely and
so kindly expressed.
Nothing connected with this whole
matter has touched me so deeply as
your generous words expressive of the
respect and regard of yourself and the
people among whom I live. I thank
you from my heart. Believe me my
dear sir. Most sincerely and grate
fully yours, h. C. White.

eertain publications appeared in some
of the papers^of the State which I re
gard as seriously affecting my profes

as these publications were brought to
my notice, I returned immediately to
the State. -Upon my arrival I at once
called upon the Hon. .J. T. Henderson,
commissioner of agriculture, for an ex
planation of. a certain official action
taken by him, and which it appears,
instigated the article referred to. To

A BIG REVIVAL.
Rev. Mr. Gibson Conducting a Successful
Revival at Clouds Creek.
Dr. Crawford says he passed Clouds
Creek Church, in Oglbthorpe county,
this week, and there seemed to be fully
five hundred buggies around it.
He learned that Rev. J. G. Gibson,
of Crawford, was conducting one of the
most successful revivals ever known in
this section. Great interest was mani
fested, and the alter crowded with pen
itents.
Dr. Crawford says he never saw such
a crowd at a country church in his
life.
Mr. Gibson is one of the ablest di
vines in the Baptist church of the South,
and is universally popular among all
classes of people. Clouds Creek is a

How a Uaby Opens Its Mental Eyes.
In -the last volume of the “Educational
Series” on “The Development of the In
tellect” Mr. H. W. Brown has presented
a conspectus of the observations of Pro
fessor Preyer on the mind of the child,
which shows chronologically the gradual
development of the senses, intellect and
will of the growing child, and presents
in a condensed form the result of a great
number of careful observations. It is
recorded that sensibility to light, touch,
temperature, smell and taste are present
on the first day of infant life. Hearing,
therefore, is the only special sense which
is not active at this time. The child
hears by the third or fourth day. Taste
and smell are senses at first most active,
but they are not differentiated. General
organic sensations oj well being or dis
comfort are felt from the first, but pain
and pleasure, as mental states, are not
noted till at or near the second month.
The first sign of speech in the shape of
utterance of consonant sounds is heard
in the latter part of the second month,
these consonants being generally “m,”
“v,” “g,” or “t.” All the movements of
the eyes become co-ordinate by the
fourth month, and by this time the child
begins to have the “feeling of self,” that
is, he looks at his own hands and looks
at himself in the mirror. The study of
the child's mind during the first year
shows conclusively that ideas develop
and reasoning processes occur before
there is any knowledge of words or lan
guage: though it may be assumed that
the child thinks in symbols, visual or
auditory, which are clumsy equivalents
for words. By the end of the year the
child liegina to express itself by sounds;
that is. speech begins. The development
of this speech capacity is, according to
Preyer, in accordance with the develop
ment of the intellectual powers. By the
end or the second year the child’s power
of speech is practically acquired.
The Fla2 That Tripped Up Booth.
A handsome mahogany case, contain
ing a silk flag with gold bullion fringe,
occupies nearly all the available space
of the wall in the southern part of the
room of Capt. Cobaugh at the treasury
department. Every visitor to the depart
ment is shown the flag and attention is
generally invited to a tear in one of its
strips. The flag formerly belonged to
the Treasury guards, a volunteer organ
ization formed during the war for emer-
S encies that might arise at the capital of
le nation. After the fall of Richmond,
and the night that President Lincoln
went to Ford’s theatre, the flag, which
was then attached to a stout rosewood
flagstaff, was borrowed by John T. Ford
for decorative uses about the box occu
pied by the president. When the assassin
.fygiJU.Uife^shot who.se echo was Vueard
from the box, and in doing so caught the
rowel of his spur in the silken folds of
the starry banner protruding from the
president's box. That slip probably cost
Booth his life, for the flag tripped him
and caused the broken leg which imped
ed him in his efforts to escape and ren
dered him an easy victim for Sergt.
Boston Corbett’s rifle ball. Subsequently
the flag was returned to the treasury de
partment, and during the few days that
President Johnson had his office in the
department the flag was in a comer of
the apartment. It was removed, how
ever, by Capt. Cobaugh to its present
resting place, and the staff was made
into, three canes and presented to officials
of the treasury department.—Washing
ton Letter in Philadelphia News.
Unlimited Credit.
A country schoolmistress had much
trouble with her pupils, and to avoid it
made her examples placed before tliem
of an explanatory character or illustra
tive. The effect was often unexpected.
In going over their usual reading lesson
a line was chosen by the lady upon which
to test the merits of the scholars. The
line read, “And he was a man of unlim
ited credit in business.”
“Now, John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word credit when used as
in this lesson?"
Thus she addressed one of the stum
bling blocks of the school.
1 dunno, maria,” said Johnny, look
ing sheepish.
“You don’t knowf” said the mistress.
Well, look here. Supposing your
mother was to come short of money at
the latter part of the week, and needed
provisions, etc., now what would she
do?”
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain, and awaited the correct reply,
and it came thus:
Well, marm,” replied Johnny, “I
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dad’s Sunday coat.”
The subject was instantly dropped,
and the teacher has lost all faith in that
style of illustration.—Young Ladies’
JoumaL
Pranks WMch Often Proceed from Serions
or Malicious Purpose.
The various professions have their own
records of practical jokes, which too
often proceed from some serious or mali
cious purpose. One such prank, under
taken with vengeful design, was that of
the Belgian painter Wirtz, who, year
after year, sent pictures to the Salon,
only to have them returned, as the
judges, whose duty it was to pass upon
the pictures submitted, would have
nothing to do with him. -
Finally he became possessed of a
genuine Rubens, which he sent off to the
Salon bearing his own name. It was at
once sent back to him, and then, as the
phrase goes, he had the judges on the
hip, and could taunt them with not
knowing the work of a master when
they Baw it.
Another such practical joke was play
ed upon the late Mme. Rudersdorff by
Sir Michael Costa, the conductor. At
rehearsal one day the lady declared that
she could not sing her song as it was
written, but must have it transposed
half a note lower.
“But, madam,” said Costa, “consider
the inconvenience, especially to the wind
instruments, and particularly as all my
men cannot be counted upon to transpose
at sight.”
But tnadame was obdurate, and Costa,
shrugging his shoulders, bowed in acqui
escence.
“Very well, gentlemen,” said he, turn
ing to the bewildered orchestra, and
closing his score. “To-morrow you will
play it a note lower.” - ; ■
The next day, however, just before
Mme. Rudersdorff came on to sing, Costa
whispered to the orchestra: “In the orig
inal keyl No change.” And so it was
sung.
At the close of the air the singer turned
to Costa and thanked him warmly.
“I am charmed!" she said.
“Madame,” replied Costa, with a touch
of pleasant irony, “we are also charmed.
You sang it in the original key.”
Had Mme. RudersdorlFs ear been as
unerringly con-ect as that of certain phe
nomenal musicians the joke could never
have been successfully carried out, but
the conductor, of course, knew with
whom ho had to deal.—Youth's Com
panion.
Disease in Books.
“I sometimes am almost led to believe
that the intellectual benefit derived from
a public library is outweighed by the
physical detriment,” were the words that
fell from the lips of a distinguished
physician a day or two ago, as he rather
gingerly handled a greasy looking vol
ume that ornamented the mantel piece
of^aparientlsjickcham^^ aD sorpnon
often injurious to his health, but it is a
well authenticated fact that disease may
be written between the lines of books, be
they fiction, poetry or theology. The
average patron of a circulating library* is
a person not overscrupulous as to the
care of a borrowed volume. He will al
low filth to accumulate'rapidly within
and without, and, if a member of the
household be stricken with measles, or
scarlatina, or even diphtheria or small
pox, like as not the book will find its way
into the presence or the lap of the invalid,
to be transferred thence a little iarer to
the shelves of the library, and then to the
hands of some unsuspecting reader.
“The leaves of the book easily absorb
the germs of disease that float in the at
mosphere. Microscopes have brought to
light the fact that bacilli sometimes over
sprinkle a page with the frequency of
periods and commas. The handling of
such a book might be fatal to the reader.
It is not actually known that many ill
nesses result from such causes, but there
is always the danger.”—Indianapolis
Sun.
A London Cabby’s English.
One does riot expect tq speak bis

ways of Paris, Berlin or Vienna, but in
London one hopes at least to be . under
stood, as is often not the case. A Wash
ingtonian doing the sights of this Eng
lish capital ordered his cabman to drive
to the Alhambra. “Where is it, sir?”
asked the cabby. “Well, my man, that’s
what I don’t know and what -you ought
to know, if you pretend to know your
business." Poor cabby was nonplused
and asserted with evident mortification
that though he had made his living as a
London cabman since boyhood he had
never heard of such a place a§ the Al
hambra. “Why,” said the much dis
gusted American, “it’s a place where
they have music and dancing and plenty
to di-ink.” “Oh! it’s the Helumbria you
mean, sir,” and with a sarcastic smile on
his face at the pronunciation of his
American cousin he drove to the place
in question.—Wasliington Herald.
