A POEM.
T© the Hon. Alexander H. Stephen**, ®f
Georgia, on the Sixty-Seventh Anniver
sary of his Birth.
From the Crawfordville Democrat.]
We bless the day that gave thee birth,
In this Republic free,
A land of grandeur, wealth and power,
The home of Liberty.
To consecrate thy natal day,
Vo me, the task is given,
And gladly hail the honored Sage.
Of three score years and seven.
No mother’s love, thou e’er hast known.
Nor tender, soothing voice,
Thy grief and sorrow to beguile,
And make thy heart rejoice;
So early orphaned that thy heart
Scarce knew when it was riven,
But guardian angels led thee on
To three score years and seven.
Thy tender feet have pressed the thorns,
Which in thy pathway grew,
But toil hath made thy heart grow strong,
And kept thy courage new,
Some flowers, too, have blossomed there.
Whose fragrance reached to Heaven,
And Alls thy soul with rapture now,
At three score years and seven.
Thy weary frame, thy wasted form,
A weight of suffering bears,
And yet thy mind, so giant-like,
Sustains thy ponderous cares;
Supported by the people’s voice,
Their trust to thee is given,
They know' thy heart is just and true
At three score years and seven.
The sacrificial host is oft
Upon the altar laid,
The champions of our rights are called,
Rich offerings, to be made,
And though our nation decks with tears,
The holocaust she’s given.
Thy sands of life are running still,
At three score years and seven.
We do not w'ish to spare thee yet,
I’m sure we need thee here,
May Owl preserve thy life to us,
Through many a coming year;
But when He’ll bid thy work to cease,
And call thee hence to Heaven.
We’ll love thee then as w'e do now,
At three score years and seven.

NIGHT WORK ON MORNING PAPERS.
Rev. DeWitt Talmage, in Ins pictures
of the “Night Side of New York,” thus
discourses on the night work in newspa
per offices:
“We went in. We went up from edi
torial rooms to type setters’ and proof
readers’ loft. These are the foundries
where the great thunderbolts of public
opinion are forged. How pens scratched !
How the types clicked ! How the scis
sors cut! llow the wheels rushed, all
the world’s news rolling over the cylin
der-like Niagara at Table Rock. Great
torrents of opinion, of crimes, of acci
dents, of destroyed reputations, of
avenged character. Who can estimate
the mightiness for good or evil of a daily
newspaper? Fingers of steel picking oft
the end of telegraphic wire facts of reli
gion and philosophy and science, and in
formation from the four winds of heaven!
In 1850 the associated press began to pay
$200,000 a year for news, some of the in
dividual sheets paying $50,000 extra for
dispatches. Some of them, independent
of the associated press, with a wire rake
gathering up sheaves ol news from all
the £reat harvest-fields of the world. It
is high time that good men understood
that the printing-press is the mightiest
engine of all the centuries. High water
mark of the printer’s type case shows
the ebb or flow of the great oceanic tides
of civilization or Christianity. Just think
of it! In 1836 all the daily newspapers
of New York Issued but 10,000 copies.
Now there are 500,000, and taking the
ordinary calculation that five people read
each paper, two million five hundred
thousand people read the daily newspa
pers of New York! Nothing more im
pressed me in the night exploration than
the power of the press. But it is carried
on with, oh ! what aching eyes, what ex
haustion of health ! I did not find more
than one man out of ten who had any
thing like brawny health in the great
newspaper establishments of New York.
Do not begrudge the three or the five
cents you give for the newspaper. You
buy not only intelligence with that, but
you help pay for sleepless nights, and
smarting eye-balls, and racked brain,
and early sepulchre.”
GEORGIA* FOUR PER CENTS.
The following is an extract from an
Atlanta special to the Louisville Courier-
Journal:
Treasurer Renfroe announced this
morning to your correspondent that he
had received orders ror all of the new
Georgia four per cents that he cared
about selling at present. It is his pur
pose to use these four per cents solely for
the purpose of replacing the old 7s and
8s as they fall due, and of course he will
sell them only as the others fall due.
The floating of this loan is a cause of
great congratulation in Georgia. It is
the first experiment with four per cents
made by any Southern State, and the
readiness with which they are taken
speaks eloquently of restored confidence.
Georgia 7s, due in 1892, sold yesterday
at A notable point is that the
greatest part of Georgia’s late issue of
bonds is held by her own people. The
new four per cents 9te, in shape and gen
eral appearance, the counterpart of
greenbacks. The $5 bonds are almost
facsimiles of $5 bills. It is believed
they will circulate as currency quite
freely. Before the issue was made the
most searching inquiry was made into
the constitutionality of the matter. A
decision was obtained from the revenue
department to the effect that they were
not subject to tax under the revenue
law, and the opinions of the ablest law
yers were obtained. The Georgia bonds
differ from the currency protested in the
celebrated Missouri case, in that case, in
that each bond has its coupon regularly
attached. “The only crime in their is
sue,” said a leading lawyer, “if any
crime there is, is in the use of small de
nominations and small pieces of paper.”
By the substitutton of the present issue
of four per cents Georgia sves half the
iuterest on a half million of eight per
cents. The law prescribes that they shall
be sold at par. Treasurer Renfroe has
received letters from the authorities of
various States, asking for information as
to the general issue of a series of low
rate bonds throughout the South. Tlje
city of Atlanta will fund her nutting
debt in five per cents.
POPULATION OF ENGLISH CITIES.
The London Standard gives some in
teresting figures concerning the popula
tion of the principal cities of England.
The inhabitants of London are cited as
3,620,868, the census of 1871 showing
3,254,260. Birmingham has increased
from about 344,000 to about 389,000;
Manchester from $350,300 to 362,000;
I aver pool from 493,500 to nearly *358,500;
Leeds from 259,000’ to 312,000. Other
towns are enumerated which show about
the same ratio of increase, the popula
tion of London being equal to about
eighteen of them. Liverpool and Glas
gow differ by nearly 40,000 in favor of
Glasgow.
The density of population varies
greatly, Liverpool having 103.3 persons
per acre, and Norwich 11.4. The others
lie between these, Plymouth and Man
chester being the only ones of those men
tioned who average over 50, London hav
ing 48 to the acre.
The Belton (Eng.) cotton operatives
have Ordered a general strike at all mills
where a reduction in wages of ten per
cent, may be enforced. They are willing
to accept a reduction of five per cent.
Tne Liverpool strike is not wholly ended
yet, gn was reported.
SOME OF THE TRIALS OF TALL MEN.
Burlington Hawkeye.
Just after I left Honeoye Falls, a tall
man sat down in the seat in front of me.
I had noticed him standing wearily about
on the platforfH, and I pitied him. My
heart was full of sympaty for him. lam
always sorry for a tall man. Sometimes,
when I get before an audience, and have
to stand on toy tiptoes to look over the
footlights, I wish I was atrifie toller than
I am. But this longing is only momen
tary. It passes away as soon as I see an
unusually toll man. You see, a very tall
man Is always pursued, haunted by one
unvarying joke. Every short or ordin
ary sized man that approaches him,
throws back his head, affects to gaze into
the heavens with a very painful effort,
and asks: “Isn’t it pretty cold up where
you are?” Just watch the next short
man you see meet a tall one, and see if
ihis conundrum doesn’t follow the first
greeting. Just watch and see if you do
not ask it yourself. And this must be
dreadfully wearing on the toll man. 1
have observed that as a rule big men, tall
men, are good natured. It is we little
fellows who have waspish tempers. So
the toll man never resents this venerable
joke by sitting down on the man who
gets its off. He smiles drearily, and with
a weary effort to appear, interested, and
tries to look as though he had never
heard it before. It must be a perfect tor
ture for the toll man to hear this question
fifty times a year for thirty or forty years.
Sometimes, when I hear a dozen men
ask a toll man of my acquaintance this
question in ’direct succession, and see
him endure it so patiently. I wish I was
the Colossus of Rhodes, and a little man,
four feet eleven and a half, would come
up to me some day when I felt right
good, and stare up at me with a grin
longer than his body, and ask me “If it
wasn’t pretty cold up there?” and I
would hold him up by the neck, and I
would swing my brazen leg leg until it
got the motion and impetus of a walking
beam, and then I would kick the little
fellow so high that he could read the
names of the streets on the street lamps
in Uranus, and I would sarcastically
shout after him, “No; it’s red hot!”
Have toll men no rights that we, who
live eight or ten inches nearer the earth,
are bound to respect?
Among the well known horses de
stroyed by the fire at Tattersalls’, New
York, Thursday night, was the celebra
ted trotting mare Twilight, valued at
$10,000; two Norwegian ponies, the
property of Mr. Havemeyer, the sugar
refiner; Gray Eddie, owned by Mr. Ol
cott; Eph. Simmons’ gray mare Girley,
that had a record of 2 .34 before it was
three years old, and was valued at $3,000;
Mr. Simmons also lost a promising four
year old filly from Kentucky stock; three
mares and one horse of Mr. Briggs; Tom,
a black horse, valued at SSOO, and owned
by Trimble; a SSOO horse belonging to
Mr. Mullins; Mr. Stewart’s valuable
black mare, and Hartwell’s SI,OOO mare
were also lost. Seventy horses were
burned, valued at $55,500.
Washington, February 17. —The pre
sident has received a large number 01 let
ters from distinguished women in all
parts of the country, thanking him, in
the name of their sex, for approving the
act admitting women to practice in the
supreme court, and thus extending the
sphere of woman’s usefulness. The justi
ces of the supreme eourt do not, however,
share in this rejoicing, as they once de
cided, unanimously, that women were
not qualified to practice at their bar, and
one of them, at the white house recep
tion, Saturday, remarked to some ladies
who were quizzing him about it, that
they intended to change their consulta
tion room into a nursery, where women
who wanted to argue cases before them
could leave their babies.
An outbreak has occurred in Hayti,
and the insurgents have proclaimed Gen.
Monency Benjamin, president. An en
gagement has taken place near San Mi
guel, in which the government troops
lost thirty-five killed and eighty-nine
wounded. The losses of the insurgents
are believed to be far greater than this.
The president has dispatched a vessel for
reinforcements, and when these arrive a
decisive battle may be expected. A pe
nal code prepared tor the island has given
great dissatisfaction, one of the features
being a provision that any libelous mat
ter admitted into a newspaper may sub
ject the editor to five years penal servi
tude and flogging.

night;” and the promise is made that
amateurs who appear shall receive pres

Ought not the rascals who listened for
a moment to the propositions for the sale
of the southern returning boards,- to be
severely punished, seven to eight? They
didn’t purchase the good citizens who of
fered to sell out; but it is just to those es
timable returning officials, to permit those
who decline to purchase them to go un
punished? Let those respected boards
be vindicated. —Hartford Times.
In one of the Detroit schools the other
flay a class in English history were being
questioned by the teacher about Henry
VIII., and she finally asked: “Did Anne
of Cleves, Henry’s fourth wife, die a
natural death?” There was an.awful si
lence for half a minute, and then one
miss stammered out: “No, ma’am—she
was divorced 1”

is harrowing. We don’t see how the
Presidential cam pain will pan out.—V. 0.

1879. THE 1879.
ATLANTA DAILT_ CONSTITUTION.
TTTE have few promises to make for the Con
\ V stitution for 1879. The paper speaks for
itself, and upon that ground the managers offer
it to the public as the best, the brightest, the
newsiest and the most complete daily journal
published in the South. This is the verdict of
our readers, and the verdict of the most criti
cal of our exchanges.
The managers will be pardoned for briefly al
luding to some of the features which have given

That is just What’s the Matter with Thousands of
PIANOS and ORGANS
Scattered throughout the South that children arc
daily forced to practice on, regardless of the fact
that'neither pleasure nor progresss can be got
from an antiquated, worn out relic of the days
when their mothers “took music.” If you want
your children to learn fast, and become musi
sician, get them elegant instruments, with the
improvements of the present age, and you will
be surprised at their rapid advancement.
