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. Slide Items. 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 inst. 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.— rsouther.ner Sf Appeal, Macon Ttltyrupk ; , On Tuesday last Dr. >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 fectly relieved, and the incision made in 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. TUTTS_PILLS A Noted Divine says They are worth their weight in gold .
