[Atlanta Constitution.] The good book says, “ The Lord hath Set one thing over against anoth er.'’ There seems to be a law of com pensation that balances everything in nature and keeps the terrestrial ball a rolling ; not only the ball, but every thing that is on it. Man may jump up like a hoppergrass, but he has to jump .down again. There is a cure for every excess, a set olf for every olfset. Every bile has to burst, and every bubble, too. Seasons may come and go, and drouths and floo Is, and cutter pillars and cotton worms and potato bugs, but the average is all the same, and the Scriptures is fiddl ed which says that seed time and harvest shall not fail. Well, of course it don’t mean that the farmer shall make as good crop one year as another, but. he had the time to do it and if he failed he tried all the harder next year and perhaps made up what he lost. The account is kept balanced someway and what is lost is gained if a man works for it in the right way. There is many a blessing in disguise. When a big fire sweeps away a block it is built up better the next lime. AY hen pestilence comes everybody goes to cleaning up. Riches have their curse like poverty lls pleasures. Genera tions play at sec saw, up to day and down to-morrow. Bankers and mer chant princes break and great men die, but nobody stops to mourn or pity. The busy world looks for a moment at the vacant place and says “ close up ! close up !” and we mourn or pity on the run. I was a ruminating over your varigated paper what a world of news every day of accident and inci dent, of ups and downs, of fire and flood, and failures, and deaths, and marriages, and miseries, and murders, and how it would all foot up in a year’s calender. I was thinking about the railroad chess-board that the magnates are playing on, and how first one and then another says " check” and they keep on losing a pawn or a piece, but nobody is mated as yet and I hope never will be, for the balance must lie kept even far the people’s good, and be kept even some way or another, for it never was intended that money kings shall oppress the people or over throw them. I was thinking how easy it would be for Jay Gould and Van ierhuilt and Victor Neweotube and a few others to combine and control all the cotton or corn or wheat in the land and make beggars of the nation if they dared to. and then I thought of the forces that kept them from it, for they know how far to go, and they know the people wouldn't stand it. The people are at last the sovereigns, the kings of the earth, and they are becoming more so as the years roll on. They allow kings and emperors like they used to, but that divinity which doth hedge about a king is gone. He holds ?,hc office and draws the pay, bui tiiat is about all. The world is assiimilating. The masses that used to be hewers of wood and drawers of water are looming up and coming to the front. Everybody is getting smart; not so much f.om schools or books, but smu t by con tact and by absorption. There is no inquisition now, no oligarchy, no ty rannical priestho >d, no barons with their vassals. Every man can have his own opinions ami is free to speak it, and the voice of the people is gen erally the voice of God. In the mul titudeof counsel there is safety, and most every man is a counsellor now. Whatever is. is i ight. whether it seems wrong or not. The war was right, and our defeat was right. Slavery was riirhfc, for it was ordained for the good <*f the negro, and freedom was riorlit, for the time had. co ne when it FOR THE PEOPLE. was a curse to the white man. Every thing moves on according to a plan, a providence. A\ r e remember that years ago the farrm rs wore out their lands and moved westward. This peo pled anew territory and gave the old lands rest. They grew up again in forest ar.d have been peopled and cleared again.AArc\ r c remember when the berrauda grass was considered a curse in middle Georgia, but now it is a blessing and is oiligently cultiva ted. Time and experiment is working wonders. The are rubbing against each other, and what one man learns is soon caught and absorbed by bis watchful nabors. Fixed laws of justice and morals and business are prevailing all over the land. Public opinion is gettingto be the supreme law and governs everything. Public opinion says one wife is enough and so Mormonism must go. AVhen railroads combine against the people the people rise up and make a commis sion to regulate and control them. Jay Gould may combine with New comb and AVadley or any other men. The)' may bull or bear the stock, but the people will control the roads. The people are long suffering and bear a great deal, but when they become des perate thay speak in thunder tones. Stockbrokers and speculators make a power of noise and fuss, but they don’t hurt anybody but themselves. They are just like a passel of gamblers round a gaming table. They bet high and lose and win, but the spectators are only amused and entertained. It is the surplus cash that is at stake. It's not my money or yours, nor our farms or capital in business. A\ r e don’t care whether the Louisville and Nashville stock is one hundred or two hundred, so it carries us and our freight at reasonable prices. If a man has stock in it and it pays fair dividends let him keep it, whether it is up or down, and if it don’t let him sell and put his money is something else. Stock gambling suits some folks and so let ’em gamble ou. Money made in that way don’t amount to anything. If the possessor does not lose it his children will spend and leave the world as poor as their father came into it. A fortune made in a year rarely sticks to any body. Five years is hazardous ; but one gained by the pursuit of an honest calling for ten or twenty years brings with it that high reward which justly entitles a man to be classed with the true aristocracy. No man ought to desire a fortune to come suddenly. It would embarrass him. It takes several 3’ears to learn its best uses and to handle it with be coming dignity. I have great respect for that class of rich men who made their fortunes slowly. I like these presidents of railroads, and banks, and manufacturing companies. I can tell’emas they walk the streets—there is a bearing of dignity and moral worth about ’em. I give ’em the sidewalk, I do, for I have regard for them. They control men. Thousands are depen dent upon their capacity and integrity, and they know it, and feel it, and it makes ’em both proud and humble. I think I would like to be a presideut of a bank, wouldent you ? This kind of rich men are liberal and charitable in their old age, if the}’ are not before. They endow colleges and orphan asy lums. Tiles’ build railrosds and facto ries and steamships and telegraph lines, and do big things that other men couldent do. Rich men area blessing to the land, for if all the money in the word was equally divided among all the people, none of us would have any to share, and there wouldent be an other railroad or steamboat built in the next fifty years ; so its all right I reckon, and I'm content and I wish everybody else was. I’ve had more than my share all my life. I’ve eat as much good vittles and wore as warm clothes as a millionaire. I’ve had in}’ trials and troubles and so has ho, and so, in the long run, the accounts be tween us are about balanced, and we will quit the world even so far as the world is concerned. What next? Bill Aur. The Jack-Rabbit. The jack rabbit is an inhabitant of Texas and some other Western States, lie is often called the “ mule-eared rab bit,” and, by the cowboy, is familiarly spoken nf as the “ nriley." lie is not a rabbit at all. A rabbit is an un obstrusive little animal, who is found by school boys in a hole in the ground, at Hie end of a long track in the snow. The so-called jack- rabbit is quite a different kind of soup meat. lie is identical with the British hare, except that he is larger, his color lighter, arid his ears much longer. 11 is avoirdupoise is about twelve pounds, and his ears measure from tip to tip, about sixteen inches. He does not burrow in the ground. lie lies under cover of a bunch of prairie grass, but is very seldom found at home, his office hours being between sunset and sunrise. He is to be found during the day on the open prairie, where lie feeds on the tender shoots of the mesqnite or sage grass. He is not a ferocious animal, as a stranger might be led to suppose from an examination of what purports to be his picture, under the alias of f> The Texas Hare,” in Governor Roberts’ book. The jack-rabbit has several enemies, among them the cowboy, who shoots them with his rifle, the cayote and the dog, that try to run him down, and the Governor of Texas, above alluded to, who libels him in his book. He has two ways of protecting himself against his enemies. One way is to squat, when lie suspects danger, and fold lbs ears along his sides. By doing this he often escapes observation, as only his back is exposed, the color of which harmonizes with the brown of the with ered grass. The other plan, that he uses when discovered and pursued, is to create remoteness between himself and his pursuer. In giving his whole attention to this matter, when neces sarj’, he is a stupenduons success and earnest to a fault. AVhen disturbed, he unlimbers his long legs, unfurls his ears, and goes off with a bound. lie generally stops after running about a hundred yards, and looks back to see if his pursuer is enjoying the chase as much as be thought he would, and then be leaves for parts unknown. There are many fast things, from an ice boat to a note maturing in the bank, but nothing to equal the jack rabbit. An unfounded rumor gets around pretty lively, but could not keep up with him for two blocks. \Yhen an ordinary cur dog tries to expedite a jack-rabbit route, be makes a humili ating failure of it. lie only gives the rabbit gentle ex ercise. The latter merely throws up his ears and, under easy sail, skims leisurely along, tacking occasionally to give the funeral procession time to catch up. But if you want to see velocity, urgent speed, and precipita ted haste, you have only to turn loose a greyhound in the wake of a jack rabbit. Pursued by a greyhound be will “ let himself out” in a manner that would astonish a prepaid half rate message. If be is a rabbit that lias never had any experience with a grey hound before, he will start off at an easy pace, but as lie turns to wink derisively at what lie supposes to be an ordinary yellow dog. he realizes that there is a force in nature hitherto unknown to him, and his look of as tonishment, alarm and disgust, as be furls bis ears and promptly declines the nomination, is amusing. Under such circumstances he goes too fast for the eye to follow bis movements, and presents the optical illusion of a streak of jack rabbit a mile and a half long. Texas Sifting. Wlio are the Eourbons? The following article is from the pen of a writer in tlie Atlantic Monthly, who evidently knows what he is a talking about: his head is level and his views are sound. We attach im portance to them because they are the observations of one who evidently differs from the Southern people in polities, yet does not allow his views to rear his powers for correct observa tion or make him a fanatic : ‘•As usual in the North, this word “ Bourbon” designates a class of white men composed chiefly of the leading citizens of the Southern States. The Bourbons are the principal business men, lawyers, physicians, teacher 0 , clergymen, merchants and fanners o! the South. They arc everywhere the leaders of society, in the best sense of the word. They sustain the churches, and give such efficiency to the moral activities and discipline of the local communities as they have thus far attained. Taken broadly or generally, the class includes the best people of the South, or most of then). They are Bourbons because in politics they are Democrats and act in opposition to the principles, policy or methods of the iiepu'd'can party, which h.n admini--- j tered the National Government since the time of our civil war. In the Southern States the term Bourbon lias no distinct significance. It is applied indiscriminately by all classes of politicians to anybody who differs from them. It is there a convenient though empty epithet or name of reproach. Ever)’ politican insists that bis party is the party of progress, of improve ment—the representative and embodi ment of the onl)? ideas by which society can exist or civilization be maintained, and be is, of course, entitled to stigmatize his opponents as Bourbons. The word is a sham or burlesque weapon in the South, and is used there by everybody in political wrangling for “all it is worth.” As to the Southern men who compose the class to which this name is usually applied in the North, I am compelled to say that, aside from political matters, they are much like other people, or like the best people in our Northern com munities. They do not appear to love what i3 wrong for its own sake, to prefer falsehood, baseness, cruelty or injustice to the virtues and good qualities which are elsewhere revered by good men. They are amiable, truthful, conscientious, kind, public spirited and religious, resembling ver) r closely the foremost men in our New England towns in ail the impoatant elements of personal character, differ ing only, in general, in being more communicative and having less reserve than is usual among New Englanders. As to their political action, it seems to me to have been for some ) T ears in evitable ; the necessary product and result of the peculiar conditions of life and society in the South since the civil war. It does not appear to have been owing to sheer depravity on their part, nor to any choice or agency of theirs, that there was for some years a dis turbed and unsettled state of things in the Southern States. Collisions between different classes followed unavoidably upon the elevation of the emancipated slaves into political su periority over the disfranchised white citizens of the country. There has never been any such completeness of organization among the people of the South since the war as many persons believe to have existed there. That part of our country is distinguished by much greater feebleness of com munity and a less organic life than belongs to Northern society ; and the Bourbons are not really responsible for everything that has been done South of Mason and Dixon’s line. I shall have more to say hereafter of Southern politics. Here I wish .only to place the so-called Bourbon ty r pc as plainly as possible before my readers. The men thus designated are. as a class, eminently social, hospitable, honest and upright men, if we leave their politics out of view. They have, in large measure, built up and main tained such moral, social, industrial and religious organization and activity as the Soutli now possesses, and much of what is best and most encouraging in the present state of things in the principal Southern States is due to them and to their efforts for practical reconstruction in a time of extreme difficulty and uncertainty, when their resources were so discouragingly slender, and when they had no pre cedent to guide them except such as were furnished by the experience of mankind in the long contest between civilization and barbarism in the past. I think they have made mistakes and have done wrong things since the war. I am not certain that we or anybody else would have done better than they. “In studying the Bourbons I have been forced to conclude that nothing has yet been attained anywhere ranch better than the domestic life of this class of the Southern people in its intelligence, refinement, beauty and general elevation and wholesome ness.” HOW WATCHES ARE MADE. It will be apparent to any one who will examine a Solid Goj and Watch, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large proportion of the precious metal used is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actu ally needless so far as UTILITY and beau ty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS’ PATENT GULL) WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME SOLIDITY AND STRENGTH pro duced at from onc-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows : a plate of nicklc composition metal especi ally adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid GOLD soldered one on each side. The three are tiien passed between polish ed steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth b\ T time and use without removing the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for ll i lust ruled Catalogue, and to see warrant.
