Prejudices are generally the ema nations of weak minds. There is not much said about wip ing out race distinctions these days President Arthur will retire from his candidacy before the convention meets.

Mrs. Langtry is said to be making mure money than when she was sup ported by Gebhard. The New York Sun does not shiue as it used to. The World appears to he taking the shiue out of it. We would like to see Foiger and Brewster in private life and their (daces filled by able, houest men.

Were it not for the winters, ne groes and siroug-mtnded female con ventions, Washington would serve as a half-way station to heaven. A lodging house bed in New York can be obtained for five cents, and still some New Yorkers occa sionally persist in staying up all night. One wouldn’t think there was any point of resemblance between an un successful operatic performance and a panr ake, but there i3. They both fall flat. March is set down by the weather wise for cold, stormy and windy. It will “come in like a lion” with the strong-minded, petticoat convention of Lincoln Hall. The Washington undertaker would make excellent cavalry. Nothing can equal the ferocuy and success of his charges on congress, his only weapon being a spear. A subscriber writes: “What exer cise should a young man take; also, what should he eat to become a pu gilist like Sullivan?” He nhould play baseball and eat baked beans. Polygamy is playing out. Kate Field and Emily Faithful have just returned from Utah without chang ing their names. There is some thing in the Edmunds bill after all. An Intensely loyal northern wo man objected to a boarding house be cause the room which she was to oc cupy had southern exposure. Not much use trying to bridge tho. bloody chasm. The publisher of a Georgia paper states that during the two years it has been in existence he has cleared just three dollars a month. As he lives in Georgia he may be excused for boasting. j “Xfii ba true that tee hairs of 1 - -n are all i one s j the man after he nau scaped j his wife’s clutches, “there will uv.

Longfellow’s “Excelsior,” which had 80 much action in it, was written white the poet was in bed. The poet had to write seven or eight verses before he could excelsior up enough ambition to get out of bed. The best cr uii'M’ias now have pe culiar contrivances called hair-strain er; thus rendering their product ab solutely free fro a foreign substances.

Taffy is gweet, but sometimes expen sive. Young man you will think of this some day. George W. Cable, the novelist, went to visit the funny man, Mark Twain, at his home in Hartford Conn. Result: Cable is sick in bed. It isn’t safe to trust yourself to the tender mercies of a funny man. Twain is trying to figure out which get the best jokQ on the other, he or Cable. 4* Adam’s fall reached a long way. Adam and Eve were first placed in the garden of Eden where it was perpetual summer. When they sin ned they were driven out into the cold world, and ever since that the sons of Adam have had to pay $7 a ton for coal and SSOO a piece for seal skin sacques. It appears that Chicago would be immensely benefitted if a tidal wave from the lake should go swashing through the town. The Daily News says accumulations of filih “have raised most of the streets about the level of the sidewalks,” and pedes triaus wale through the slush “ankle deep on the walks.” Don’t gossip. It not only injures you oy leading you to exaggerate facts, but it often injures those of whom you speak when no injury was intended. Words, especially bad ones, are like thistle seeds,borne upon the breeze. They lodge and grow over the laud and when once started cannot be picked up again. The kerosene fiend has been rather quiet of late, but last week he invei gled a dentity United States m irsha! ofSpr.u rfieid, T i.- to m mkey with the kerosene can to try and start the fire. Hed l n>t climb the golden stair, Uij; there is bootu in the court planer market. Kerosene is no res pecter of persons. It is 'noteworthy fhat the last five floods-in fho O io Valley have oc curred iu February, the river reach ing the highest point between the dates of the 14 h and 21st, and that until 1880 1 here had been no over flow iu February since 1850. This appears lo show that February has come to be a month when wet weath er conditions prevail to an alarming extent. Anew waltz, not on the pro gramme, was introduced at a South Side ball last week. Aa irate mother walked into the room, took her daughter’s ear between her thumb and fore-finger, and waltzed her home. While this new figure is rath er sensational, it is not likely to be generally introduced, as the partici pants, that is, one of them, thinks it altogether too irritating. The question of who is the author of “The Bread Winners” Is still being discussed, and is, as yet, un satisfactorily settled. It seems strange that such a matter should go so long unsettled. It is now likely that “The Bread Winners” will go down in history along with “Beauti ful Snow,” With from fifty to one hundred fathers, and double that number of mothers, all claiming it as their child, Noah’s floodshould not be derided. Considering the time and thecircum stances Noah did as well in the way of a flood as could be expected. Had he been an Ohio man, with all the advantages afforded an Ohio man of the present day in scientific informa tion concerning forestry and mete -1 urology, he would uot only have pro vided for a first class flood to begin wit but would have improved upon it the next year. The citizeus of the Ohio valley grant Noah the credit he deserves, but we flatter ourselves that if he were living now we could give him a few pointers on floods, THE TATTLER TALKS. J*fts tad Fancies Gathered Here and Thm and Told by tho Tattler to Tickle the gossips Mid Tarn the Tedious * * * Hoars into ...... 1 Much has been said in a compli mentary way of the good people of Ctrtersville. Commercial men say it is ft good place t sell merchandise preachers say it is a guod pi ice to hold a conference or an association, pleasure seekers say tt i* a good place t-* spend a vacaii n,f r jgnb< lie-* and beaux say it is one of ihe most d-. ligh:fu!*towns in the siatv to spend a few’weeks of social pleasure. Alii these things are literally truv A more hospi.able generous people el not live. Cf.rtersville extends aj hearty welcome to strangers who c >me well recommended. Our peo ple live well, society is very good, school ! are well attended, churches are large and preachers well support at. But with all this thnre is a miss ing link that fearfully retards the progress of the town, and that is a want of hearty co-operation aud a la,ck of broad public spirit in any en terprise,that requires unity of action. If it had not been for this deficiency we would to day have a cotton fac tory m full sweep a school house of which the city would be proud, a park that would be an ornament as well as a luxury, and last iu order bqt not in importance a public library of five thousand volumes. AH those things are useful and beneficial to the town, and why it is th it every en terprise of this kind lags and from cold neglect is a mystery that the Tattler cannot understand or ex plain. The old adage“what’s every body’s business is nobody’s business” is carried out to the letter in Car teraville. In individual persuits our people are progressive and wide awake. The merchants are posted and pushing, the mechanicsare ener getic aud efficient, the lawyers are studious and succes-ful, and ail the pursuits and professions of Life the people of Cartersville are abreast Of the time. But just let it be known that somebody is out with a subscrip tion book to forma stock company ora mass meeting is called to dis cuss the erection of a school house, or a meeting of the library association is suggested and everybody has something else to look alter. If we keep on at this poor, creeping pace Cartersville will never be any thing more than a common poky country town. It is absolutely necessary that the individuals make some sac refice for the general good of the whole. In this matter of a public library some immediate action is de manded. The nucleus of the library is already here. There are about five hundred volumes resting quietly in the dust of one of the up-story rooms over B iker & Flails hardware store—the result of two or threespas rhodic efforts at starting a library association. Some two or three hun dred of these books are standard works and should be re*d,but as long as we wait for somebody else to du the work of organization nothing will be done. Rome has a library of 5,000 volumes to which she is constant ly making additions. We mention this fact that it may excite a spirit of emulation in our own people. We will not now pursue this subject further but ask you seriously to turn it over in your mind, and consider whes her or not it is worth while to do any thing more than talk. The eye lone that went sweeping i up the river last Tuesday evening j was something grand to look upon, j It eatne with a rushing soonnd and j went plunging along at a terribie! rate, twisting trees and houses into splinters,and spreading desolation and ' ruin wherever it touched. Hundreds i ofourcitizeus watched its course os it canae whirling up the river from towards Ham Harris’ place aud went dipping along until it vanished over the hills in the direction of Cooper’s iron works. Men’s heart stood still aud their faces blanched as they watched it and heard the muttering sound of its terifle voice. The heavens were in a commotion. Black fragments of clouds went rushing from place to place like wounded birds hunting safety. Sometimes the whirl-pool of clouds would leap down into the forest and snap trees like they were pipe stems. Again in their mad flight they would rise and rush for a mile or two and reach down again clasping in their shape less arms hopses and barnsand fences and fling them in to atoms,and hoarse ly laugh at the calamity and ruin they made. It was a spectacle we hope never to see again. We thank God that it was no worse—that no lives were lost in our county. God was in the storm, “How oft amid thick clouds and dark does heaven’s all rn'.ing sire choosa to reside; his glory unobserved, and in the majes ty of darkness round circles His throne.” How weak and helpless men feel at such a time. How much we are made to feel the need of the I “everlasting arms” about us. The natural prayer that bursts from every heart is, ‘ Lrd -we or l p-rish.” Bueh visitations humble us and make feel our dependence on G at, “In fhs fierce shrinking and howling crashing on in desolating breath yet curbed -rub rais? t He show* His aidful power, yq tender: csre. In the free sun-liglu, in the dropping of the clouds sod changes of the *e>:soiß, He proclaims His boundless goodness and exhaust loss love.” Toe Tattler does not tako very much stock in love letters. There is generally a milk-and-ciderishness about them that has a tendency to nauseate the average reader but the produced below has a freshness, not to'say originality about It that will buse a ripple of laughter to creep o\*r your countenance.

Tattler. TO A COUNTRY LAD. A young mail wiitts from Hart, county to tbe Constitution on a sub ject which is interesting c iough to re ceive a more extended consideration than couid be accorded it in the de partment of questions and answers, where it properly belongs. Our young friend writes that he will short ly reach his majority, and, naturally enough, he is looking around for some thing to turn his hand to. He is very modest in hi3 statements. He s iys he has worked on a farm all hi life but has received such educational ad vantages as are offered in a neighbor hood school. He believes he Isas the basis of a fair English education, and he knows that ho is willing to wo?k hard in any direction where there is a fair show of success. He is rather tir ed of the farm, and want* to know if there is any opening in Atlanta for a young man who is not only willing to work, but determined to succeed. Now, when a country lad of more than average brightness asks if there is any opening in Atlanta, er any chance of success, what are we to say? Shall we close our eyes to the poten cy of the circumstances and individ uality and tell him to remain on the farm, or shall we tell him that in every step and in all departments ©f life, in the city and in the country, a thou sand opportunities await the right man? All tilings being equal, a coun try lad would study his comfort and his interest by remaining on the farm; but are all things equal? Upon every side we see that country birth and breeding, the outgrowth of which is a sturdy and manly simplicity, are the basis of the highest success in every profession and walk in life. The most successful men in Atlanta—in Amer ica—weie onco barefooted country boys. The rural—the pastoral—ele ments ia our state and national life rules to an ex teat and with a purpose not dreamed of by politicians. Oq the othfir hand, we know that iu every town aud city there are young men who hud it impossiolo to get woik. They find every position filled and every avenue to success ap parently barred. In search of work or employment, they are subjected to all sort* of humiliations aud at every turn they are compelled to swallow pride and independence. Of a hun dred who *eek employment many, perhaps,will find it, but h>w far does the employment represent success? a thousand who find employment, one will reach what people call success. But there ia this consolation: the con ditions are no worse than fifty years j ago. While the thousand are plod- NUMBER 43. ding along, k *#pi g body ad soul together, a b* sght ltd wiil make his appearance an < aoe nip ids the impos sible. He Will wring su *c ss from th< mns 1 hopeless surrou id mgs. How and wh\ ? Who shall nv? Success is in the man and not in his surroundings. It is called by various names; some say it is luck, some op portunity. Whatever it is, permanent and worthy success is based on integ rity, industry and that element of character wdiioh commends one to the confidence ot his aquaintances. All this has been said hundreds of times before, i.nd it remains to be said hun dreds of times hereafter. It is not satisfactory as an explanation. But the Hart county lad who asks our ad vice ought to be told that the success of youth is not the success of age; that one who would win success in city would be more than successful on a farm, for the same qualities that give success in one direction give it in another. Our aptitudes are important, but they are not everything, and one may be as successful in one calling as another, provided one brings the same energy and industry to bear. No doubt our correspondent will think that all this is far cuough from definite advice, and so it is. Advice is either perfunctory, or else it is bas ed ot a thorough knowledge of con ditiomand surrounding*. Ordinarily we should unhesitatingly advise a contry lad to remain upon the farm, but a good business man is better than a poor farmer, just as a good farmer is better than a poor business man. Our correspondent must decide for himself.—Constitution. IT STANDS ST THE HEAD.
