Great Fortunes.
Is there danger to society in great
fortunes? is a question that is at
tracting some attention in New
York. Of course nobody can an

faction of everybody else. Those

in the negative, while many of

to have a fortune will answer it in
the affirmative. The number of
great fortunes in this country ex
cites the wonder of Europe. The
growth ol some oi them lias been
remarkably rapid. A half century
ago one hundred thousand dollars
was thought to he a handsome for-
There are many persons
now who have an annual income
of that amount. If the great for
tunes increase as rapidly in the
next half century as they have in
the last half, it will he no distinc
tion to be known as a millionaire.
But as these great fortunes in
crease, will not the number of the
very poor people increase? It is
believed that it will, and herein
lies the danger of great fortunes.
Their tendency is to make a pau
per class, and to make the poor
class dissatisfied with their condi
tion. Dissatisfaction will lead to
grave evils, some of which we are
just beginning to get a glimpse of.
If the rich men would use their
wealth-for the benefit of their fel
low-men, great fortunes might he
great blessings. The aim of rich
men, however, appears to be to con
tinue to accumulate, not only for
the pleasure of the power which
wealth gives, hut also for the prom
inence which it conf rs. It would

mulations of corporations by la w,

When a preacher, who had at
tained to considerable note in the
larger churches of the rural cities,
was appointed to the charge of a
first-class church in one of our lar
ger cities, and after occupying- the
pulpit for several months, a friend
desirous of knowing how he was
succeeding inquired of an acquain
tance, “How is Dr. Charley making
it?” The reply was: “.Splendid-;
lie is trying every sermon to preach
better than Dr. Charley did the Sab
bath before.” And so the test of
good farming is to have every crop
better than the one that preceded
it. Tills, strictly speaking, is an
impossibility, but the nearer it i.-
approached to the higher becomes
the standard of the farmer’s excel
lence, the more money lie will
make off the ground lie tills, and
the happier ho will no. This
country is becoming so rapidly
filled up with competing agricul
turists that a farmer must bean in
telligent man to reap the fullest
benefits from Ids ground and suc
ceed in the race for agricultural
success. He must take, and care
fully preserve the agricultural pa
pers, seize hold of all good ideas,
not to he afraid to experiment once
in a while with judgment and dis
cretion, until lie makes the ground
to blossom as the rose.
A halfhreed with three squaws,
all heavily laden with skins, com-
p’acently permitted his oldest
s puiYV to go ahead and test the ice as
he was ahouy to cross the .Missouri
near Mandnn. She broke through
reneatedlv, and had to extricate
herself as best she could, the noble
son of the forest coolly smooking his
pipe meantime, and awaiting the
discovery of a safe crossing for him
self and his younger squaws.
“Here is a pewter mug that came
over in the Mayflower,” said the
auctioneer; “just what they used to
drink their beer in; will no one
bid? Have you no regard for the
pilgrims?” “Not if they drank
beer,” said a pious old lady in the
“Boy,” said a gentleman to a dis-
ohdient youth, whom he enconter-
ed, “don’t you hear your father call
ing?” “Oh., yes,” replied the hoy;
“but i don’t mind nothing’ he says,
an’ mother don’t neither; an’
atwix her an’ me we’ve about got
the dog so he don’t, too.
“Why are you so distant ?” said a

Mark Twain on “Liberty.”
Among the unique objects of in
terest in the Pedestal Fund Art
Loan exhibition, which was opened
to the public by Gen.iGrant at New
York Monday, is an album made up
of original contributions from well
known artists, authors, and public
men. The artists have given
sketches, the authors and public
men autograph letters and poems.
At first it was intended to have the
album disposed of hv raffle, but, per
haps, as the committee was re
minded by Secretary Foiger in bis
contributed letter that raffling is il
legal, they concluded to sell it for
its estimated worth, $3,000. This
valuable book has been bound in
oxidized silver, and the fortunate
purchaser will possess a truly
unique volume. In sending his
contribution, Mark Twain wrote
the foil owing characteristic letter,
addressed to Mr. F. Hopkinson
Smith, the art director of the exhi
bition.
You know my weakness for
Adam, and you know how I have
struggled to get him a monument,
and failed. No, it seems to me,
here is my chance. What do we
care for a statue of liberty when
we’ve got the thing itself in its
wildest sublimity? What you
want of a monument is to keep you
in mind of something you haven’t
got—something you’ve lost. Very
well; we haven’t lost liberty—
we’ve lost Adam.
Another thing: What has liber
ty done for us? Nothing in partic
ular that I know of. What have
we done for her? Everything.
We’ve given her a home—good
home, too! and, if she knows any
thing, she knows it’s the first time
she ever struck that novelty. She
knows that when we took iier in
she had been a mere tramp for (>,-
it!to years—Biblical measure. Yes,
we not only ended her troubles and
made tilings soft for her, perma
nently, but we made her respecta
ble—and that she hadn’t even been
before. And now, after we’ve
poured out these Atlantics of bene
fits upon this aged outcast, lo and
behold you, we are asked to come
forward and set up a monument to
her! Goto. Let her set up a mon
ument to us, if she wants to do the
clean thing.
But suppose your statue repre
sented her old, bent, clothed in rags,
downcast, shame-faced with the in
sults and humiliation of (>,000 years,
imploring a crust and an hour’s rest
for God’s sake at our back door?
Come, now. You’re shouting!
That’s the aspect of her which we
need to be reminded of, lest we for
get it—not this proposed one, where
she’s hearty and well fed, and holds
up her heat! and flourishes her hos
pitable schooner of flame, and ap
pears to be inviting all the rest of
the tramps to come over. (>, goto
—this is the very insolence of pros
perity.
But, on the other hand, look at
Adam. What have we done for
Adam ? Nothing. What has Adam
done for us? Everything. He
gave us life, lie gave us death; he
gave us heaven, he gave us hell.
These are inestimable privileges—
and remember, not one of them
should we have had without Adam.
Well, then, lie ought to have a mon
ument—for evolution is steadily
and surely abolishing him; and we
must getjup a monument, and be
quick about it, or our children’s
children will grow up ignorant that
there ever was an Adam. With
trifling alteration, this present stat
ue will answer very well for Adam.
You can turn that blanket into an
ulster without any trouble; part
the hair on one side, or conceal the
sex of his head with a fire helmet,
and at once he’s a man; pat a harp
and a halo and a palm branch in
the left hand, to symbolize a part of
wiiat Adam did for us, and leave
the fire basket just whc-re it is, to
symbolize the rest. My friend the
Father of life and death and taxes,
has been neglected long enough.
Shall this infamy be allowed to go
on, or shall it stop right here?
Is it but a question of finance?
Behold the enclosed checks [paid
hank]. Use them as freely as they
are freely contributed. Heaven
knows I would there were a ton of
them. I would semi them, tor all
my heart is in this sublime work.
Most truly yours,

The Georgia Congressmen.
Fi IT. J.L, the Washington corres
pondent of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, writes as follows:
Mr. Turner and Judge Crisp of
Georgia, have two of the very best
seats in the house. Judge Crisp
chose the first seat next to the
aisle on the front row of the demo
cratic side. Richelieu Robinson
has occupied it for two years and
from it delivered his famous as
saults on the British lion. He
must twist his tail by the tip
henceforth, for the fortune of the
drawing threw him away on the
outer circle. The seat held by
Judge Crisp was that always ac
corded to Mr. Stephens, who never
occupied it, hut usually stationed
his rolling chair directly in front of
it. Mr. Turner is next to Judge
Crisp on the same row. The only
Georgia member not reasonably
well seated, will be Colonel Ham
mond whose seat was drawn for
him during his absence. It chanced
to come so late that he was com
pelled to go with the thirty or forty
democrats who sit on the left, or re
publican side of the house. Me is in
company with Mr. Converse and
several other leaders.

English tobacconist of a reflective
turn of mind has studied human
character by observing the manner
in which hi; customers take their
cigars. - Iiis conclusions are to the
effect that an even-tempered, quiet
man chooses tobacco of moderate
quality. .. nervous man wants
something strong and furious; a
mild man something that will
smoke and nothing more. The ea
sy-going man smokes iiis cigar only
enough to keep it going, and fre
quently takes it from his mouth to
cast a curl of smoke in the air. The
cool, calculating man, not physical
ly energetic] but who lives easily
off the-labor of others, grips his ci
gar in his teeth, and is indifferent
whether it burns or dies. The ei-
gar-chewer is a human bulldog.

Henery Lett, a former slave be
longing to T. AY. Head, of Madison
county, last Saturday paid to Air.
Head the sum of $1,7(10 cash and
agreed to pay the balance next year
for a plantation which Lett had
bought from Air. Head. Besides
this payment, mules, wagons, far
ming implements, corn, oats, and
provender in plenty on hand. Lett
is not a town politican, nor does he
take much interest in such things.
He is a small grain and corn raiser,
attending to his own' affairs and
keeping in liis proper place.
An exchange, In comparing a
preacher to a printer, says : “AVhy
that they must avoid politics; that
they must stick to some calling or
profession, with singleness of pur
pose and be very sure to let poli
tics severely alone. Now, if mere
office seeking is meant by the term
politics, the advice is good and can
not be too deeply impressed, for no
thing brings so much of vexation
and anexiety, and affords so precar
ious a susistenee.
The office-seeker, pure and sim
ple affects the notion that he be
longs to a class that is specially set
apart to govern, and that,"therefore
he should he exempt ftom the la
bor imposed upon other people;
that he is a sort of a prince to be
kept on the earnings of the masses
of the people. But he is in fact
more nearly a pauper, kept at the
public expense.
Politics however, in its highest
sense, should claim the study of ev
ery thoughtful citizen.
•Society is not a haphazard aggre
gation of men and women, subject
to no law of developement, else
there would he no progress. But
what the law of progress is, what
is meant by that much abused term,
the people, what rights and duties
are, and how to he kept in equili
brium, are all questions that some
body must solve, and he will do it
best who studies most.
The ordinary politician, as he is
called, is a pitiful object. The need
of the time is the citizen who
knows his rights and his duties too,
and has some definite idea of what
should be and what should not he
done. .V man has no right to as
pire to office unless he is well
equipped to discharge its functions,
but it is the duty of every man to
endeavor to make himself a wise
citizen. The danger in a democra
cy is that too much will be done.
The masses are swayed by every
tide of feeling, and in their igno
rance have a remedy for every ill.
In the nature of things we must
encounter ills, but we augment
them by our own blundering. Shall
we ever grow wiser? The office-
seeker has brought the functions of
governing into contempt. Legisla
tures consume days and thousands
of dollars belonging to the people
in shaping laws so as to give one
set of office-seekers advantage over
another, or to reconcile the aspira
tions of individuals, or in making a
place for one that lie may be out of
the way of another.
And congress, with its seventeen
thousand bills before it is busied
with the question who shall hold
the offices of the government, and
to this all things else are side is
sues.
There is no remedy for this evil
except a careful study of politics
by the young men of the land and
a determination on their part to
see the right prevail. They must
deal with the questions of to-day
just as they are presented—deal
with them intelligently and hon
estly, and put behind them the con
temptible course of the hackneyed
politician who banks on the feeling
of the hour.

“Let’s see,” the husband mused,
“we have been married five years,
haven’t we?”
“Yes, I a am sorry to say that w(*

“And you married me under the
impression that I was a sensible
fellow?”
“Yes.”
“And you have just discovered
that I am a fool ?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Well you were a long time in
making the discovery, which prov
es that you are a bigger fool than
1 am. Another thing in my faver
is that I knew you wi re a fool or
you wouldn’t have consented to

The Albany News says: “Last
week we devoted a column and a
half or more of our space to some
respectful controversial remarks
with .J. E. Mercer, editor of the Cal
houn County Courier, anent the
Sheriffs advertisements of Baker
county. We never made a great
er mistake in our life. Instead of
treating him with contemporane
ous or Ordinary controversial re
spect, we should nave dealt with
him as a ruffian, coward and liar.—
He is not entitled to respectful con
sideration as a journalist, and we
shall, therefore, waste but few
words upon him this morning. He
concludes his senseless and incoher
ent tirade upon the editor of the
News and Advertiser by announc-
cing that he is ’personally and at
all times responsible for anything
he may say or do.’ AVell he has lied
on the News and Advertiser and its
editor: now let him prance to the

these few remarks.”

Gen. Geo. B. McClellan say: “But
in the name of common sense, is it
not time we lifted from the backs
of the people a burden of taxation
that makes the cost of woolen
blankets, clothing, harness, furni
ture, drugs, and almost everything
else far in excess of it
real value for the
benefit of a few shrewd interested
protectionists who pocket the pro
ceeds and spend a small share of it
in hiring men to preach to the
credulous, laboring man the old ex
ploded theory that were it not for
protection, every laboring man
would be turned starving on the

that oecured near Providence
church in Chambers county last
week. A marriage was to have ta

ceremony and quite a number of
friends had repaired to the home of
the intended bride, a Miss Mead

ple, went into a room to themselves
