STEWART Wishes to say to the public that lie is still prepared to do all kinds of PHOTOGRAPHING and FERRO TYPING 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 not bo difficult to limit the accu mulations of corporations by la w, hut it would he difficult to frame a satisfactory law limiting the wealth of individuals.

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 tramp to a beefsteak in a restaurant window. Half a loaf is, no doubt; better than none, but a newspaper man never gets a chance to loat at all. 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, .S. L. C. 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.

Cll A ItAC. i.ROK THK 8.AH>KER.— All 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. The good natured, glib-tongued man lets his cigar go out frequent ly. 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. are a fool.” “Let’s see,” the husband mused, “we have been married five years, haven’t we?” “Yes, I a am sorry to say that w(* have.” “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 marry me.” 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 front and make a personal matter of these few remarks.” There is in AValton county, in this .State a remarkable family of sisters.

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 community. The Democrats should collect enough revenue to run the government .economically. They should not roll up million of surplus in the treasury for the benefit of protectionists.” We learn of an unusual incident that oecured near Providence church in Chambers county last week. A marriage was to have ta ken place, the intended groom, a Mr. Davis. Rev. Mr. Bledsoe of La- Fayette who was to preform the ceremony and quite a number of friends had repaired to the home of the intended bride, a Miss Mead ows.
