The importance; of grand juriesto the country as a whole, a»s well as the various conirminfties, eannot be overestimated. They should con sist, of the most upright, intelligent and experienced citizens of the sev eral counties, because to them must we look not only for the institution of proceedings for the punishment of crime, but for a supervision of our governmental affairs and the general welfare of the people. The grand juror is something more than a person in authority, having the privilege of presenting or suppress ing, such things as he may think proper-—jiegis an officer of the law, sworn to perform a special though often hazardous anil unpleasant duty, and to perform it “without fear, favor, or affection, reward or the hope thereof,7 as well as “with out envy, hatred or malice.” The character of the grand jury in any particular county may be accurately gauged by its moral con dition, the frequency of crime, and the degree of efficiency of its offi cials. Go into a community where- there is a grog-shop at every cross*, road, where the county seat and vil- liages are made disgusting' and dangerous by the presence of drunk en men on the streets, where the Sabbath is set apart for hall-play ing and gambling, and where the public officers are incompetent ami powerless, hnd there you will find a county, that does not hav,e a true aad faithful grand jury at each term of its court. There are many such counties in the country, but they are growing fewer every year, In every case it is tlie tried and true grand juror that begins the reformation by a fearless and faithful discharge of his duty. The better elements of soci ety gradually, perhaps timidly at first, gather to his support, at length tlie corrupt and degrading classes are either driven out or suppressed. Threats, insults and often actual as saults are indignities lie is often called upon to submit to or resent —sometimes his very life is in danger—but a steadfast adherence to duty and right prevails, the la tent good in the community crvstal- izes around him, and adds to his in fluence and strength until the vic tory is won. Every grand juror is sworn to keep secret his own counsel and that of his fellows. This when the oath is observed, is his greatest pro tection; but, shame upon humani ty in very many cases important secrets leak out from the body even before it has time to pass upon the question involved. This not only frequently embarrasses the free ac tion and expression of opinion by the juror, hut submits him to the annoyance of the attentions of the almost omnipotent lobbyists who infest every village, especially du ring the sessions of court. Sometimes men are worked on or off the jury by the connivance of officials to attain a certain end, and very often two or three shrewd men can carry a whole jury of good hut timid men, even against their own convictions. These two points, the secrecy and inviloability are of the greatest importance; and judg es should always, specially charge them to search out the parties in volved and present them for false swearing, or contempt of the body. Were tiiis done the public would soon hold a grand juror’s oath in the hightest respect, and assaults, oti their integrity would cease to lie made. The moral effect of a score of con scientious, intelligent men, as the grand inquest of a community, ear nestly and secretly searching out the evidence of crime and official corruption is great, and the limits of their power can scarcely he fixed. No officer is too high for their cen sure or accusation to reach, and no criminal so insignificant and low as to escape the scrutiny of their in vestigations. Their powers of a general nature are almost unlimited. They may advise,''-commend, censure or con demn the actions of public officials, from the president down to the humblest bailiff, or the community at large, in their general present ments,. or they may make special presentments in certain eases, em phasizing their opinion with the penalties of the law, as well as in dict the crime. From the Atlanta Constitution. Bill Arp on Office-seekers. Uneasy lies the head that wears a post-office—or most any other offi ce ; especially one that has politics in it ; more especially one that comes from Washington, politics is studied as a game of chess, and ev ery pawn and every piece has to be moved to protect the king, that is tlie President. The player not Only catches his adversaries'and sweeps them from the board, but when the king is in danger he will sacrifice his own men who have been fight ing faithfully, and sweep them away too. It is a: wonder to me that anybody will hanker after such a business. Before a man gets an office he is doing something that make a living for his family, and he quits that, and breaks up and loses his trade or -custom ; and be gins to live on a salary and feel good for awhile, but suddenly lie goes overboard and has'no trade o^ custom to fall back on. In the meantime.his children are grow ing up, and have got new ways and habits, because pa is in office and handles more money than he used to, and they must step up a little higher in society, and dress finer, and give more parties, and take a more fashionable pew in the meet ing house. ..And so when the-fait comes it is a hard'one, and the poor feller don’t know what to- do. He can run a postoffice, or collect reve nues, or get after the moonshiners with alacrity, hut post-offices don’t lie around lose and . and when lie loses one lie can’t pick up another and keep on in the same, line of business. This is the question that troubles a French Justice of the Peace. A drover and a butcher in the market adjusting their accounts went to a tavern to dine together. During the meal the butcher took from his pocket a hank no of 100 francos val ue, wherewith to pay the drover, but in handing it over let it fall in a clish of gravy. He snatched it out, and holding it between a thumb and forefinger, waved it to and fro to dry it. The drover’s dog accep ting this movement as a friendly invitation, and liking the smell of the saturated note, made a spring at it and swallowed it. The butcher was furious. “Give me my money,” ho demanded. “Kill tlie dog and open him.” “Not by a blanked sight.” replied the drover; “my dog is worth more than 100 francs.” “Then I owe you nothing. Your dog has collected for you be fore witnesses.” “My dog is not my cashier. And besides, where is your receipt?” “The Justice will have to settle this.” “Let him.’ And now for weeks the Justice ha? been seeking law or precedent for | such a case, and the townsmen have j been on the verge of a riot over it ! again and again. Dr. Deems, of the Church of the Btrangers, New York, has been preaching against squeezing hands and kissing. lie says one should not grip a lady’s hand, or a gentle man’s either, as if it were made of iron, neither ought he to hold it too long. Kissing, he holds, ought to be discontinued to a great extent, especially the kissing ofsweet, in nocent little babies. His doctrines on these subjects are the correct ones. A person ought not to lie al lowed to kiss a babe without special permission from its mother, and tlie mother ought not to grant per mission except to a particular friend, who she knows to be free of contagious diseases. Col. George H. Hazlehurst, well known in railroad circles in Geor gia, died at his home in Chattanoo ga Sunday evening, and his re mains were buried in Macon Tues day. lie was for many years pres ident of the Macon and Brunswick railroad, and had been engaged in railroad and engineering enterpri ses in Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Mississippi ever , since 184-3. His death was caused from malarial fe ver, contracted last summer in the Mississippi valley, lie was about GO years of age at the time of his death,; and was a man of sterling character, popular manners and sterling virtues. Years ago, when David Crockett was a member of Congress and had returned home at the close of the first session, several of his neiirh- Uncle Abe and the ’Possum. Uncle Abe was a Virginia negro. Ho was fond of ’possum. Haying caught one in a persimmon tree he got- his wife, Dinah, to eook it for him. Abe, having no appetiterfor it when it was “done brown,” re quested that it should be placed in the cupboard until morning. The favor was granted* and Uncle Abe laid down before a log fire and went to sleep. His son, Mose, com ing in late, got the possum and ate it, laid the bones down at Uncle Abe’s head, smeared the old man’s face and hands with the grease, and wont to bed. The following morn ing Uncle Abe awoke arid asked Dinah, “whar’s dat ’possum ?” “In de cupboard,” which she ex plored and found it missing. Returning, Dinah inquired: “Abe when did you eat dat ’possum ?— Dar’s de bones at your head, yer face smells pf ’possum, and yei^ han’s are greasy.” “Maybe I did eat dat ’possum, but if I did it did me less gomHlan any , ’posAum I ever et,”*-sNashville Sun day Journal.

Look carefully at these, and you will per ceive that the tipper halves' of the characters are very little smaller than the lower halves—so little that an ordinary eye declares them to be of equal size. Now turn the pH per up-side-down and without any careful looking, you will see that this difference in size is very much exaggerated; that the real top half of the letter is very much smaller than tlie bottom half. It will he seen from this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper part of any ob ject upon which it looks. , .From the Forest and Stream. The Mosquito at Close Quarters.

Tlie New York Bnn quotes him as follows: “Nature is a song. The spheres sing- together. When the sun gives pris matic beauty to the dewdrop, or When in the dove’s neck or the humming bird’s wing, or the opal of the sea shell nature paints its glories, light is music It is a palette fullofsound.lt combines concord When gay-plumaged birds fly and sing over the lochs and hills of Scotland, when the wind wails wildly at night or, in the loftiest Andean elevations, when the eagle screams at the sun, or when the sea harmoniously surges over the shin gles of Kent, as King Lear heard it from lofty cliffs, there is every where music in nature. Even the meteors which break upon our upper air are musical. In the grand drama of the universe, light is the orchestral overture. The universe is but the grand mise en scene.— The harmony of it is like the attu ning of a great harp or organ. We love as Mendelssohn loved nature, for its melodious marvels.” If Mr. Cox loses -the Speakership he can come down and write up Atlanta’s Musical Festivals. At a reunion of the original Abo litionists in New York, the story was told about an attempt to break up the meeting at the Broadway Tabernacle fifty years age by C’apt. Isak Rynders.’ The captain, who is now about 80 years old, says the story told was not true 4 /and says:— “I got mad at Garrison because he was ail infidel, and he made some blasphemous remark about Jesus Christ. He also used some insulting language about President Taylor; I would not listen without protest to their blasphemous language.T did jump on the platform and grab Garrison by the collaryind I would have done, it, r wUspot afraid of anybody in those days.

Ml i iji.'il i -iiD !o ‘jnT * ilt hi mu iaii«4li !■ Origin of the Word Mississippi. The Mississippi is a good instance of the variations through which some names have passed. Its orig inal spelling^ and the nearest ap proach to the Algonquin word, “the father of waters,” is Meohe Bebe, a 'spelling still commonly used by r the Louisiana Creoles. Tonti . sug gested Miclie Sepe, which is some what nearer to the present spelling. Father Laval still further modern ized it into Michispi, which anoth er father, Labatt, softened into Mis- ispi, the first specimen of the pres ent spelling. The only changes since have been to overload the word with consonants. Marquette added the first and some other ex plorer the second “s,” making it Mississipi, and so it remains in France to this day with one “p.” The man who added the other has never been'discovered, hut he must have been an American, for at the time of the purchase of Louisiana the name waa generally spelled in the colony with a single “p.” , Then the pump is started and 1 vieitim.’s blood is sipboped up into the reservoir carried-4*ehind, and about,” “Yes safer than I feel A pliyseian said jocosely to a po liceman one evening, “I always feel safe When I see a policeman in the evening, for there is no danger when I have a doccor,” was the te- tort.

One of tlie recent decisions of the Supreme court of Georgia is of sufficient general interest to have special attention directed to it. In the case of Cook vs. the Western & Atlantic Railroad, from Whitfield the court decided in substance that even when an employe or traveler on a railroad signed a waiver of any claim for damages in the event of personal injury while in its em ploy or under its charge, this did not avail to relieve the company of lia bility if the accident was due to any carelessness or mismanage ment on the part of its agents. Every er.ui.ty pet its l,est: hor ' (l f ami asked questions about i\ ash- and most fearless men on the grand jury lists, and public opinion should uphold and sustain them. Then a faithful discharge of tlie grave and important duties devolv ing on them may be looked for, and a speedy improvement in the offi cial, moral and material interests of tlie community accomplished. iiigton. “What time do they dine in the city ? asked one. “Common people such as we have here, dine at 1. The big ones dine at 3, we Representatives at 4, tlie aristocra cy and Senators eat at />.” “Well, when does the President fodder?” “Old Hickory ?”exclaimed the Col onel, “well, he dont dine (ill next day.” A ChicagoJiaykpian, who has a pleasant faceatid winning wai ,-s, has according to the Chicago, Herald, gained #40,000 from his business in the past ten years. His eye falls on a country man getting out of the train tp make his first visit to tlie city. The haekman engages to show the stranger around town fora dollar. Ere they reach a clothing store he has persuaded his custom ers to buy a new suit of clothes, and then the two must necessarily go to a shoemaker’s to get hoots to match. And so the haekman trots his men around until the city has been seen, and the rural visitor feels grateful to the man who has taken so much pains with him. In tlie evening the haekman goes to the traders and draws his eomjssious. There are those who never see good in anything. If you should say to one of these chrome grum blers that the sunset is beautiful, his reply would be; “Yes, but it will not last long;” or, if you should say that the rainbow is magnificent he would immediately add, “Yes, but it will soon fade away.” Thus they go through life, always looking at the had, and never at the bright Side of life. Turn about ; be cheer ful; onjoy the good that there is in life; make those around you happy, and quit your perpetual grumbling. — ;* , LI —■■■■ .. iXricknsas lias a prohibition option law whiely provides that a petition of a majority of male and female adults can prevent the sale of li quor within three miles of any church or school house. Little Rock is about to avail itself of the benefit*cof this huv, ancl the fight over tne su&ject is getting to be hot, and the. temperance people seem to be in fair way to triumph. Over the door of a small frame building in which a colored family is living in Greenville, Term., is a pine board on which is the legend, now almost erased by rain and storm, “A. Johnson Tailor.’’ A little beyond the western border of the town is a marble monument that marks the lsst home of “Andrew Johnson, President of the United States.” A close observer says when you see a man operating with a Heedle and thread on a pair of pants you can easily tell whether he is mar ried or single. If lie uses a thimble he is married, hut if he pushes the needle against the wall and draws tlie needle through the cloth with his teeth you can lay ten to one every time that he is a single man. Lord Coleridge hit the worshipers of the “almighty dollar” a hard but merited rap when he said, in the presence of New York’s million aires: “It is not your colossal for tunes that interest me. I can see great estates and sufficiently large fortunes at home. I should be dis posed to give a wide berth to these things, because millions of dollars confuse my mind and are irrelevant to my tastes. But what I do re joice to see, what has filled me with delight, what I have longed to see, but never will see, in England, is the condition of your upper and lower middle classes and the homes of your people.” A German poet says that when satan was hurled from high heaven he was broken in pieces and his limbs distributed throughout the world. His head fell in Spain, which accounts for Castilian pride. The heart found its way into Italy, which accounts for the stiletto. Tlie legs gyrated a long time through sjiaee and at last settled in France, which solves the origin Of the cancan and explains French fidgets. The stomach landed in Germany, which gives a great first cause for beer and accounts for the gluttony of the Germans.
