Tls<f WCM RX,
■■» of a friend, wo are in pos
a very interesting paper written
Stewart, of Patterson, N. Jon
subject. He dwells at length upon
the advantages to southern women that
will accrue from a proper appreciation of
this subject. He thinks there is a fine
opening in the cultivation of our flowers
for market, for budding plants, medicinal
herbs, the making of extracts and tinct
ures, the growth of seeds and vegetables
for sale—and especially silk culture. He
asserts that no country presents fairer op
portunities for the dairy business. He in
dicates the making of jams and jellies for
market, the marmalade of oranges, etc.,
and dwells long upon the poultry business
for Southern ladies as a most lucrative
pursuit and calling. He instances the
high prices of eggs in the northern mar
kets in winter, also of early spring chick
ens, which sell in Washington City at
thirty and forty cents per pound.
Bees are the next subject which he
presses upon our attention —the honey and
the wax. He says the essential oils from
llowers are used everywhere—that tons of
orange peel are wasted in the south—the
oil from the bitter orange selling in mar
ket at $-1 per pound, and the oil from the
flowers at from S3O to S7O per pound. The
Chamonile flowers used in this country
are imported—selling at thirty and forty
cents per pound—that large quantities of
fragrant herbs are used in curing southern
bacon of high grade, not an ounce of which
is grown here. He makes very flattering
mention of Miss Howard, of Kingston,
also of Mfs. Treat, of Florida, formerly of
New Jersey, as ladies of enterprise, cul
ture, and refinement, who are pioneers in
this matter, so well explained by the wri
ter. He advocates agricultural colleges,
where ladies may have a department for
instruction. He insists that, girls have as
many rights in this direction as the joutlis
of the country. He instances many op
portunities in which this instruction might
be profitably applied to the comfort and
pleasure of dependent womanhood. A
successful poultry keeper, bee keeper,
dairy woman, florist, fruit grower and pre
server—even a housekeeper might find
the beginning for a happy, useful life in
such established institutions.
The leading lithographers of the coun
try pay high prices for art subjects skill
fully drawn, and if instruction could be
given that was practical and thorough in
such matters, the nimble fingers and deli
cate taste of our young ladies might find a
thousand ways in which to employ their
skill to profit.
But women cannot do all this alone. The
fostering care of the state, and the influ
ence of agricultural associations could
: start the work, -and as help has been ex
j tended to her brothers so should she be al
-1 lowed her natural right to a just and joint
share in the outlay of the taxes of the
; country. The idea that women are serfs ;
1 is hardly more unfair than the plea that !
she must be confined to simple domestic i
work to the end of-her life because she isj
a woman—without a single opportunity to';
develop the one talent or the many advan- ;
’.a403 that Got! lias given to the sex. If

’-v'-C ?"H^^Now York in
iSPa- ;iil under thirty
-11:e. and seven under
cut t:i• ii throats; a good
a bullet in either brain or
ffeart, while a few jumped to their death
from elevations —and the rest used poi
sons. Now, how do you account for it?
If life has a gala time, if there is pleas
ure without care, and enjoyment without
apprehension, it is in youth or early wo
manhood—but the statistics show that
the young are in greater haste to shuffle
otf tho mortal coil than older
people. A few days ago a man
man suicided in Macon because another
■ man owed him some money. Another
took his life in Atlanta on last Friday be
cause he was restless and tired. These
instances are getting close to us, and the
prevalence of the desire to suicide is
alarming. More men than women take
their own lives. In New York sixty-two
are enrolled as clear cases this year, leav
ing the doubtful deaths unaccounted for.
Of these 44 were men. Liquor is the
main cause, and this perhaps accounts
tor the excess of male self-murderers.
The bulk of these deaths occur after a
debauch.
We incline to think the painful narra
tion of the manner of such deaths in the
public journals is an exciting cause. The
poor human mind seems to run after hor
rors as as the body craves stim
ulants and excitement. A poor creature
jumped from the Brooklyn bridge and
killed aybc'aceidentally, may
be otherwise,’ ..ml now the police are
kept on the qui vive to prevent other no
toriety maniacs frofrf jumping off by the
dozens. An ancient law forbade the
burying of a suicide in a regular ceme
tery, but the habit has grown so frequent
now, that the body of the murderer is not
forced to atone for the offence of the soul.
The passion for the horrible seems to be
on the Increase and it possibly results
from too much publicity to details in the
public prints. We believe hangings by
the strong arm of the law should be pri
vately conducted, and if these revolting
disclosures of self-destruction could be
kept in the background vve think there
would be fewer of them.

wire-grass steer. I knew
Hr was getting his work in then. As
the collards, the slaw, the pig’s face and
the tripe began to mix, he bellowed and
sweated like a horse with the colic, and
I watched and waited. About one
o’clock in the night ho turned over and
snorted, “Oh ! Hannah, what a dream !”
“Tell it to me, dear Jack, don’t go to
sleep any more, Jack,” I plead, ami here
it is, as I took it down in the silent
watches of that long, dolesome night :
“Hannah, ole gal, Iv’e been to Atlan
ta. I went into that ole Kimball capitol.
I lit in that place where a fellow named
Warren stays, who wears specs, and
keeps a yaller nigger named Owen. As
I sot thar and wiped my sweaty face, I
could see into a room that the yaller fel
low said belonged to Governor Daniels,
who was walking up and down in great
distress of spirit, and a talking to him
self. He was mightily pestered about
something, sure. I just thought Geor
gia was getting into a war with Mexico,
since Gen. Jackson went over there, and
1 pricked up my ears to see what it was
about.
“A fellow by the name of Stephens
was about and around him occasionally,
and Owen whispered, he was the major
general of the Georgia troops, but l’il be
switched if he looked like he could lead
a squad of billy goats into action.
“Just then a smart, little, low, fat
man sprung past us, and I'never did see
a bow-legged chap get about nimbler.
His .Tohriy Bull face was all iu a twinkle,
lie was chock full of something. He
didn’t send no card by the yallcr nigger,
he walked right in like he owned the
shebang. ‘Good morning, Gov. Dan
iels.’ ‘Good morning, Johny Bull Har
ell,’ said Ilis Excellency. ‘You don’t
seem to be well, governor,’ was the re
ply. ‘Have you been tending night
meetings over at Dr. Munhall’s? - I de
clare they are the best meetings in the
country, you ought to go, governor. It
is good to be there, and it’s popular. By
the way, governor, Sam Jones is a cap?

thousand dollar house, which he didn’t
take, which is queer doings, in my opin
ion. I’ve joined the Y. M. C. A., too,
Your Excellency, and we are going to
build a house, we are. House carpen
tering is one of my trades since I sot in
to build Georgia a new capitol. We are
going to build this one out of Georgia
marble, and it has to start like the ‘pyra
| mids of Egypt.’ Your greasy limestone
may do for the new capitol, but 1 shall
launch ray administration on a solid
foundation.” The governor begun to
face about at the word ‘administration.’
‘When Chi-care-gore caught afire, your
limestone went up a spout,’ pointing out
towards where the old city hall used to
stand, The governor got so agitated, I
said to the yajicr feller, ‘Who is he?’
‘That,’ said Owen, -is Gol. Eving Pee
Harwell, political editor of the biggest
paper in Georgia, delegate from the
state-at-large po Chicago, who nomina
ted the president, chief of stalf on the
capitol commission, and a candidate for
governor of Georgia.’ ‘My sakes,’
thought I, ‘ha’s my man,’ and I walked
around his portly form and watched him
talk, and blamed if he didn’t look like
he boss in that bailiwick. ‘Col Ev
ing, ’ said the agitspttfd ofjjcial, ‘whats the
matter with you, anyhow? yoq af
ter my place? Why do yon pojnt your
finger that way? Didn’t you and Grady I
beg me to put you on that oapitpl com- ;
mission, and didn’t Ido all you asked i
me to do? Didn’t me and Colquitt send
Jackson to Mexico to keep him in his j

the big man swung around lightly on his
heel and daintily touched his thumb to
his nose, and wiggled the rest of his fat,
pudgy hand most gracefully. ‘Arcadian

“I fixed that capitol commission for
‘strength,’ but it don’t strengthen me.
Miller isn’t worth a row of pins, and
Thomas is no better. Phil Cook is a
bull in a China slion, and Alexander
looks out for bis railroads, and this small
Falstaff that plagues out my life witli his
impertinence and audacity, is worse than
the whole gang. It is always the way,
when you ‘grease a fat sow,’ and I
greased a slick one, with a cool thousand
a year and nothing to do when I put him
on the capitol commission. Give some
folks an inch and they will take an ell,
and now I’ve my hands full and break
ers ahead.”
I felt sorry for the poor man, Hannah,
and if I hadn’t seen the ‘fat boy’ wad
dling back, I’d a told him so.
“Governor, Judge Simmons and my
self have been searching the records for
a third term, and it can’t be found, it
isn’t there,” were the first word’s spo
ken. “Shame, where is thy blush!”
said the new irate dignitary. “It is
cruel to charge up that third term to me.
That little piece of a term left by Gov.
Stephens was exhausted in pardons, Gov
ernor Boynton drained the dregs dry,
and I had nothing, absolutely nothing.
I didn’t have a chance to make an ap
pointment until poor Dr. Rains died,
because, because you know there were
some conditions when I got in, with no
delegates otfer Bacon and Boynton, who
had then all. My hands were tied and
you know who tied them, and this ‘third
term scare’ is cruelty. I didd’t believe
it of you, no I didn’t. I want to try my
full hand the next time, the mansion is
all clean, and fresh curtains a flopping,
and no independents in the way.” #
“Did you mention repairs, governor?”
blandly inquired the bay-window orator.
“That’s a fly in your dumpling, my dear
sir. Times are close, and there are some
plaguey fools in the legislature who
like to get on investigating committees.
Look out! It is whispered that this
old shanty we are in draws a pile of
money to bp used in keeping it clean,
and where is the money? for there’s
nothing to show for it. When I occupy
this room I’ll clean it and draw pay af
terwards, if it becomes necessary. I
will fix things in shape to be ready to
move into the new capitol with eclat,
and distinguished mention!” At this
happy thought the speaker threw back
his head and smacked his lips, where
upon the Mr. Daniels got savagely ex
cited.
“I wish to the Lord I had put that
other fellow on the commission in your
place. He could have done me some
good up in Cherokee Georgia, and unless
I dislodge Campbell Wallace and Newt
Trammell, to get a job for him, I believe
in my soul he will yet eat me up.”
“Did you remark on Cherokee, Geor
gia, governor?” said Johny Bull. “Who
is your best man up that way?” “Old
man Towers is my main stake and cor
ner postj may it please 3 r ou,” replied
His Excellency.
•‘Hope you then have his ‘expense ac
count in shape, ’ .was the sharp rejoinder,
and whereupon the excitement grew so
high that I could not understand a word
said by either Oh! Hannah, you’ve
Seen the niggers in the cotton patch
| quarreling and djspqting, ‘fending and
| proving’ and it was more like that than
| anything I can compare it to.
The confusion continued to increase.
■ Sometimes I’d iiear ‘treachery.’ ‘Bui
i
lock's solicitor-general,’ ‘i/tving3ton and
i the Bacon committee,’ ‘railroad fees,’
‘marble quarries,’ ‘convict lessees,’ and
a thousand more things tossing about,
and it warmed them up to boiling heat.
I prayed for Sara Jones or Dr. Munhall,
but they did not come. Finally the
governor found yoipe.
“Why didn’t you take your carcass off
to Manchester? Me, Henry Grady and
Colquitt thought it would just suit you.
In four years time you could have so
managed cotton factories as to move
Manchester over to Atlanta with you
and planted it down on Kimball’s next
big job—a capal from the Chattahoochee
into and through this famous If imhall
vxllg.”
‘•Be patient, old fellow,” jerked out
the fat man, ‘‘l didn’t want to go
Manchester. I wanted to stay Jjere and
vindicate’ you—‘vindicate’ is the word.
I i! go over the bouks then and in my
annual message I’ll make you all square
with the dear people. I can do it better
than you can, it's more modest, you
know, and I’ll do more than that. I
will, as governor, allude to you as my
‘illustrious predecessor,’ and by virtue
o! my authority as governor and ex
offieio chairman of the capitol commis
sion, I’ll appoint you one ot the hoard,
where you can draw a ‘smooth thousand
a year and nothing to do.’ ”
Just then something struck the floor
with a whack, the yaller nigger and the
man with specs ran out of doors, and 1
begun to dive for Kimball’s canal and a
drink of water. Hannah, I’m plaguey
thirsty—quick Hannah !
Ail day to-day he is laughing to him

says he must go up to Atlanta. If he

than a week. 1 know lie is clean datt,

W. F. COKUIM’S REJOINDER.
For the Courant.
Nothing very serious the matter, Mr.
McCormick. It is simply my way of
doing business. If I have more hands
employed on a certain work than is nec
essary to do it with I suspend all but
those I need, not because I am displeas
ed with them or their work, but because
it is useless expense to me, and no in
justice to them to suspend them. Such
a rule as this would do well in county
affairs, as I beiieve. •
You say our county commissioners
have been a great advantage in many
ways by curtailing county expenses,
thus reducing our taxes, etc. For the
life of me,l cannot see where it was done.
The contracts for the building of bridges
and all such work have been let out in
the same way that it was formerly done
by the ordinary. It is hardly possible
that parties would contract to do the
work cheaper for commissioners than
for the ordinary, nor do I suppose there
have been fewer contracts than would
have been let out by the ordinary. The
amount of taxes assessed has been by
recommendation of the grand jury, just
as it was done before. The wants and
needs of the people are made known to
the commissioners by petition, and a
man who is qualified to be ordinary is
also qualified to decide these questions,
and in my opinion would be more desir
ous to please, because the blame, if any,
would rest on him alone. 1 can see but
one advantage ip having so many men to
do so little work, viz: it gives more men
employment. As it is, some of our good,
clever citizens, can get into an office,
where under different arrangements
they would he cut off entirely, but 1
hardly think this will satisfy the tax
payers. As to the reduction of taxes, I
hear no complaint to that effect. Taxes
have not been reduced to hurt. It lias
been down and up, and more up than
down.
I would like to ask you one question
as to the county court. If the court is
an advantage in its present shape, would
it not be better with more jurisdiction?
If a case was tried and done with, with
out so much going up, would it not save
monej' to the county ?
You seem to take fright, lest we might
lose our judge. There is but little dan
ger, as ho is universally popular. He
could be easily re-appointed, even if a
change were made. I believe the judge,
the solicitor and bailiff to be good and
faithful officers, and so long as the court
is in its present shape they should retain
their places, but if we can safely dis
pense with two officers we can still have
an efficient judge, and we are inclined
to think the sheriff of the superior court
would be competent to be sheriff of the
superior court. I have also the same
opinion as to the solicitor. Some objec
tion to this change could be made, inas
much it would retire two more clever
men to private life. Two more would
cease to draw public pap.
If there is a better reason for these
changes they are not apparent to me,
nor have you given me the argument to
prove I am mistaken. Your explana
tion has not been clear enough yet to
convince myself and a good many oth
ers. Very respectfully,
W. F. Corbin.

Hon. W. H. Felton —My dear sir:
I have never had anj r personal acquaint
ance with you, though I have seen you
and have supported you in every race
you made for congress. Now, I want
to write you in behalf of the maimed
confederate soldiers of whom I am one
of the unfortunate number. I volun
teered when I had just turned in my
17th year of age,in 1861. 1 served in
the western army until the 28th day of
May, 1564, I received a grape shot
wounu in the left knee at the battle of
New Ifope church, in Paulding county,
from which my leg had to be amputated
above the knee. I learn that an effort
was made by the general assembly of
last year to change the law so as to give
us annual appropriations, and I do hope
that when the legislature meets they
will give us an appropriation this year.
I, for one of the unfortunates, are in
great need of help now. My condition is
like a great many others,started out in the
war when I was yoqng, without an ed
ucation, and at the close I %vas minus a
leg and without means by which I could
give myself but little schooling, conse
quently we are unable to get into busi
ness by vvhiph we can make a living,
and by the loss of a limb are unable to
do manual labor.
So J will ask you to.use your influence
to secure for us a donation this year.

Your article in the Coviian i*-**ti.' luh

honorable friend permit me to th-• k
him in behalf of the ihorimr >Io of
Georgia. “My how.-h. . : ,e . di
ed, my brother.’’
Having identified yourself .\i;b “or
ganized democracy” you will b,d 'Jot
dan a hard road to travel,” on this line,
if “the press” and “the leaders” arc in
dications of coming events. How the
honest instincts ot the “old iiiJcpond
ent stick out! How the far reaching
intellect of a moral and cultured mind
sees the oppression likely to fall upon
the laboring tax payer! How he sees
the constitution of the state section r* 191)
which says, “no debt hereof incurred
in any county, municipal ■porathm, or
political division of this sffte shall ex
ceed seven per centum of the assessed
value of all taxable property,” can and
will be avoided by a set of assessors put
ting property at tsvo or three times its
value! Put the taxable property of Bar
tow at two million dollars, seven per
cent permits you to make a debt and tax
labor for the interest (.for in its last anal
ysis labor always pays the taxes) of
$140,000, no more. Get an agreeable
and accommodating set of assessors and
put Bartow’s property at four millions
and political demagoguing debt-makers
can give the good people one of $280,000.
But I did not set out to make fin argu
ment, my friend is fully capable, but to
thank him for his earnest and able and
well-timed article, and to exhort him
stick to “organized democracy,” if
he can, but, “sink or swim, live or die,
survive or perish,” stand by the men
who in God’s appointed way, “in the
sweat of their faces,” create the wealth
of the world.
Remember me affectionately to madam
and believe me your friend truly,
