I’RAYIMt FOR THR CON vKNTIUN
Chronicle <( Con*titutionali*t.
ft aocm* will bo no |'ui'l cluiplain
for the Constitutional Convention. Such
delegates as art* ministers may open the
dally sessions with prayer if they feel so
inclined, but they will receive no per diem
for their si ’ Ifnn. .bishua Hill, of
Morgan, app<H> to have ilcfeiiti and tho pi op
ositiou to pay fur - prayers by the bold
speech against it. Of course then'will be
many pious persons Who will be sincerely
shocked at the action taken by the Conven
tion an fchjaliiftijxH It hasm**i'allybccn
the custom $f Conventions
and iCongrdsshs to have a paid preacher to
open their deliberations with prayer, and
many will think that the blessing t>f
llcavcn will not rest on an assemblage that
lias deliberately set these pious precedents
aside. There are two shies, however, to
this, as to every Other question. The Con-
vention did not decline to have prayers
offered at the commencement of its ses
sion* ; it simply declined to employ a
chaplain at a regular V> coiyjuct .iR,
devotions. There are ft number <* CliriS
tian ministers in Atlanta, iuul these can
easily take it by turns to pray for a body
whicn doubtless greatly needs the help of
prayer. There are also among the dele
gates (though there ought not to bo)aimm
per of Christian ministers who will draw
regular per dintu as members of the Con
vention and who can well afford to pray
witWii| reviving addil ioiiuloomponaation.
We fcMv| is much as any one does in the
efficacy of prayer and We have the highest'
respect for the sincere and upright men
who consecrate themselves to the service
of Cod ; hut wc have no respect for those
who seek to make werchmidtee of religion,
nor do wc believe that the petitions of
such false Apostles ever lind their way to
the throne of Divine Cracc. Those who
hare attended sessions of the Legislature
in Atlanta have heard more than once rc-
ports of ko-'called ministers of the Gospel
actually lobbying for the position of chap
lain at so many dollars per day. Is it any
wonder, then, that right-thinking men
should become disgusted with such cant
and hypocrisy, such profanation of holy
things, and should refuse to encourage a
practice which has begotten one of the
scandals of the day? The Convention will
not sutfer for spiritual food by reason of
its refusal to pay a salary to a chaplain,
taken either from or without its body.
There are good men m Atlanta, ornaments
to the pulpits which they fill, who will
gladly’ serve the Convention without fee or
reward, save such as will come to then!
throifgh the approval of their owil con*
sciences. Persons who will consider .the
matter carefully will find some reason'for
the action taken by the Convention in this
matter.

The oil capitol at Milledgcville Would
mal|e*ait- excellent university building.—
Atlanta Constitution.\
Mr. S. 11. Ruuip, of Houston county, has
shipped eight hundred bushels of peaches
to New York and other points this season.
Estimating them at two dollars per bhflhlk
net profit, he has realized the nice Iwtjp
sum of sixteen hundred dollars.
General Toombs says that so we have a
good constitution, it makes but little dif
ference whether the 'capital is in Atlanta
or at Lickskiilet; but ho believes, never
theless, that Atlanta is the proper place
for it.— Atlanta Constitution.
Somebody ought to put in the name of
Columbus as the site for the capital. The
entire legislature could then be run by wa
ter-power. In either Macon or Milledgc
ville plain Lincoln county whiskey would
have to do the work. —Atlanta Constitu
tion.
A colored map arraigned for forgery in
the Superior Court yesterday declined to
take a colored man for a juror in his case,
though the Solicitor-General had accepted
him. There was not much color line-in
this.— Chronicle £p Constitutionalist , Wth

The Ilftwkinsville Dispatch says : One
of our physicians, having prescribed the
use of quinine in several cases, was very’
much puzzled to find that the fever did not
abate. An analysis of the quinine revealed
the fiict, that about nine-tenths of it was
carbonate of soda. Quinine having lately
advanced te> six dollars an ounce, no doubt,
prompted the rascals to adulterate the qui
nine. in order to realize a good profit.
The Warrcnton Clipper says : “ A white
tenant on the plantation of a Mr. Moore
in the upper edge of this county was re
cently struck by lightning while standing
in his yard looking up at an approaching
cloud. It is said that one of his checks
was torn off, his clothes ripped into shreds
and the boot on one of his feet burst be
neath him. Instant death resulted. On
the same day a negro man in another por
tion of the county is reported to have met
with a like' faty.”
Covington Enterprise. : A Newton coun
ty doctor reports a strange case. There
is a young girl he lias been attending who
believes she is a baby, and who has not
spoken a word in three years, although
she was a good conversationalist before she
took iip the foolish idea of being an infant.
She reads the Bible and writes letters, yet
will not utter a word. The doctor tells
us that there is nothing the matter with
her. She eats heartily and rests well at
night. This is no sensation or falsehood,
and we only withhold names hy request of
the doctor.
While* My. A. 15. Jones, of Twiggs, was
ploughing his corn the other day, his mule
irritated him by snatching an occasional
mouthful of fodder from the corn to ap
pease his appetite. He finally stopped his
plow, and went to the mule's head and
grasped the blades of the fodder lie was
chewing and gave a vigorous pull. When
lie examined the contents of his hand he
discovered that he had pulled out the
mule s tongue, lie hung it up in a tree
and plowed on until night, and the next
morning carried the lingual muscle and the
mule to Dr. O’Daniel and asked him to
stitch it back, but the doctor refused,
stating that he was not a veterinary sur
geon. At last accounts the mule was do
mg well, but had quit singing psalms.—

>C. U. Hall took from the hand of a lady
in this city a piece of glass which had been
in it twenty-five years. The fragment wu.i
about a quarter of an inch Wide at the
broadest etxL tapering to a point. It en
tered the bacK or the right hand near the
inside edge, and during its long pilgrimage
liavd only passed the width of the hand.
Its course was Across the back of tho hand
making its presence known by a boil on
the outer edge. Except at tunes the lady
has experienced little or uq pain from it,
and the hand is pot at all injured by its
passage through the sinews. She is per

lancing is healing rapidly as possible.
They are still raiding the illicit stills in
Northern Georgia, ami the following from
the < iainesville Southron shows how ardent
ly those who manufacture are engaged in
the trallic ; “Deputy Collector Whitmore
and .Mill Jlone captured a still three miles
hoyond Shallow Ford last Friday that was
located under ground in a largo cave with
only a trap door four feet square for in
gress, which was kept covered with leaves,
ibrush, etc. The smoke from the furnace
was carried a longdistance by means of a
tunnel, which connected with the chimney
of the dwelling.
“ Will yon love me this way when I’m
old S'” she asked, as he emptied a handful
of peanuts in her lap. “ I will, darling, 1
swear it,” he passionately protested as he
,carefully laid aside his cigar and commenc
ed on what was left of the nickel’s worth.
That was when the flowers were budding
and when the birds were mating, one brief
year ago. Last night they sat again in the
gloaming, and Who knows but that their
memories reverted to the happy past; and
and yet when she asked for a fifty cent pa
rasol, he remarked that a woman whose
face w&s as yellow as a duck’s foot, and
looked as though it had been cultivated
crosswise with a patent harrow, needn’t
be so particular about her complexion.
The peanuts had done their work. There
had been a wedding ere the budding blos
soms bloomed. —Brookvilte Jeffersonian.
