The undersigned, sufferers by the great
fire of the 22nd of February, in this place,
feel constrained by a sense of duty, to
express our profound gratification at the
extraordinary promptness with which our
losses have been settled and paid by this
ever prompt Insurance Company, which we
desire to commend to all who appreciate
the value of reliable indemnity and prompt
payment, when a loss occurs. The adjus
ters of the /Etna were here in strong fc.rc'e
promptly, and as rapidly a3 losses could
be properly determined, made up proofs
and paid at once. We commend A. 8.

We clip from a Kentucky paper the above
well merited tribute to the sterling old com
pany whose name appears above, ‘inis
Fort of action is no new thing with the,
/Etna, but is only a sample of her usual
course when disaster overtakes her policy
holders.—Nearer home we have had ample
evidence that the/Etna really is what she
assumes to be—a national institution.—
Last December she paid about $32,000 to
sufferers by the Griffin and Atlanta fires,
and in each instance while the ruins were
still smoking. So, through a conrsc of
forty years, and moYe, of honorable dealing
she has cheerfully responded to upward: cf
14,000 claims for loss, amounting to over
thirteen million* of dollars. Verily there
is a feeling of absolute security enjoyed in
the holdiug of an /Etna policy which is n .t
obtained by any other species of security.
Business men and property holders will do
well to boar in mind wo are favored with

Shot Himself.
On last Saturday about half past ono
o’clock at Mt. Zion Horatio
young man who has been attending School
in that place, and whobe father lives in
Clinton Jones County, shot himself in the
thigh, the load entering the left side, with
a pistol, the muzzle of the w eapon being
almost in contact with the part wounded
when it fired, consequently the whole load,
and wadding entered in a bulk, severing
the main artery.
There was but little hope of his surviv
ing long, on last Sunday evening, although
he was at that time thought by his Phys
icians to be better than he had been at any
time after thoy were called to see him.
The young man is about sixteen years old,
and we learned from some cf the young
men who knew him, that he was beloved
by all of the yonng men; alas! that one
thus esteemed by his comrades, should be
cut off in the bud, so buoyant with bright
hopes of the future. We were informed
that he had a brother who was killed by a
similar accident, he also had a brother who
| killed a negro ; indeed theso sad visitations
I must he very afflicting tn their parents.
Will parents ever succeed in raising
their children to see the evils acruing from
I carrying pistols, bowie knives, and other i
unnecessary weapon*? Wo were informed
I that nearly every hog in Mount Zion had ,
! t t>ifU>l, we heard one aboat the age ot |
mri. Self t
going to try to sell it now. There will
have to be something done to remedy this
evil, what it will be we hove no idea, as
parental government however good, and
laic* however penal, have tliqs far failed
to bring about any change, only.it appears
that every year the curse grows worse.
The following is a specimen of the
soft answer that docs net turn away wrath _
“A good story was tnld'us (Hartford Press)
the other day about Join! Van Buren. He
had taken some technical, legal advantage
by wh'ch his opponent’s client in an action
was non-suited. The man was furious, and
declared his purpose to give John a piece
of his mind when he saw him—he would
wither him. Happening to see John one
day at Downing’s, standing at the bar.
getting outside of a dozen New York boys,
he boldly confronted the Prince, and, be
ing a small man, looked up at him fiercely
and burst out, ‘Mr. Van Buren, is there
any client so low and mean, or any case
so nasty, that you won’t undertake to de
fendhim in it V *1 don’t know,’said John
stopping to put away another oyster, then
bending down and confidentially drawling
out his reply in the little man’s ear, ‘what
you beeu doing 1”
ty The Atlanta Intelligencer is respon
sible for this anecdote :
“FiRR and Brimstone.”—We are in
debted to Judge Lumpkin, of the Supreme
Court, for tho following anecdote, for tho
truth of which he vouches :
A gentleman named——, in Marion,
Alabama, was seriously ill. His neighbors
and’ friends were in attendance, as usual on
such cct ibione, watching by bis bed side,
to see the last fiiekerings of the lamp of life
go out, when, accidentally, a box of Luci
fer matches iu the house took fire, when
the supposed dying man. speaking to his
weeping wife, exclaimed :
“Ou Mary, the Devil has Gome, for I see
the ‘fire and smell tue brimstone!’
Mr. did not die, however; but fs
now living and doing well. The fright, in
all probability, produced a re action in his
coporal system and saved his life.

The Lumpkin Law School.
When conversation has turned upon the
public men of our State, the questions have
bean often put, where did ho graduate t
where was his professional instruction re
ceived. In coming years the Lumpkin
Law School will, we hope, be pointed
to as the nur6ery of Georgia’s leading citi
zens. This institution, so much demanded
by the wants of tho profession, has been
founded chiefly from a desire to afford the
Advantages of legal instruction to our young
men, and to consummate the influence of
talent and energy in elevating the Lawyer’s
position. Such motives guide the endeav
ors of men, conscious of intent to serve
“their day and generation,” and of the
still nobler impulse to transmit tlfe bles
sings of fame and educated worth to those
who shall “come after us.”
Th school is now. being attended in the
second session by above forty students—
which number will, we suppose, be aug
mented even bcfoic the close of the pres
ent session. Avery small minority of the
first class (and these hindered by uticon
eontrollable circumstances) have not re
turned we understand. It is an argument
of success that the institution with no self
made commendations should thus so soon
recommend its advantages to the ambitious
and honest.youtlied our State. And why
should not the sods of to-day assemble iu
iu6 groves of congenial sun and shade, to
accomplish those real attainments which
aro alone sufficient to win the affection
ot brother men, and the admiration of in
telligent strangers. It is from no sectional
blindness, or selfish distrust of other lands
simply, that we allude to the claims of some
thing near to our homes. Our State cer
tainly needs such an institution; let it be
built up by tlioso among us that we shall
admire the ornament and worship the buil
ders.- The long practice of our profession
al students has been either to undergo a
short apprenticeship with some eminent
member of the bar, or to read privately the
few books which are said to furnish prepar
ation to appear in the court-room. This
system, oi rather native talent and energy
improving upon it, has indeed given us no
ble specimens of giant-like excellence.—
But this ago demands something different.
The advance into successful practice is nec
essarily growing more retarded. A few
years since and the youth of a few legal
maxims and attractive sentences was ready
to commence his course. Then the vulgar
deemed him smart, and as he gained their
praise so he did their business. But as
knowledge is becoming moro spread, the
people at large can more easily fathom the
attainments of the young advocate—nay,
they will from familiarity despise many of
his most admired schemes. We need not
be astonished at hearing desponding com
plaints from such beginners. Indeed, too
maLy of our youth have mistaken even the
course pursued by the last generation of
Lawyers. Their preparation was indeed
hasty, bet those who succeeded did pre
pare, though too often many of them re
lieved their laborious concentrativeness of
thought in the expanding and oblivious
hours of dissipation. Too many imitate
these in little study and dissipation only.—
The young disciple of Law must now delve
deeper into the hidden mysteries of this
great and ever widening science. It is not
safe to put off the commencement of a
methodical plan of study until the first un
employed years oi the office are being pass
ed through. In the institution of which i
Iwe wri'e tho advantages are certainly j
I good. The instruction is not given by ‘
I those who simply know theories, or who ran j
of Amplictyonic eotir,-1
cils, or the edicts of Justinian. Each pro
fessor ha? solved these mysteries, and is
now ready to illustrate almost every prin
ciple with some palpable example. Iu
other words they are or have been practic
ing lawyers, and superiors the State does
not claim. The departments of study are
separate, but the frequent allusions of one
to the other will hut exhibit the great har
mony'and impress the importance of com
paratively insignifieaut principles. Tho
chief aim of such schools is the fixing of
principles, vere scire, est scire per causa k. —
Many oi the modern members of the pro
fession are confining themselves too much
fb collecting decisions simply to gain a
cause by weight of authority. The decis
ion of our own Supreme Court are sup
planting the study of text-books among our
younger men. The two systems should
be united, the rules and the decisions.—
Close reading will impress the one, while
it is the province of memory to collect, and
the exercise of legal training appropriately
to apply, tho other. Iu this school these
advantages are attained in the text-book
the lecture and the Moot Court.
But further in favor of the school we
will say, that our country in its advance
will necessarily require the development
of the profession in the special branclios.
Men of different tA.Onts and desires may
confine their studies and practice to one
department. If this system .is to be in
augurated certainly the school is the bet
ter place to direct the first effrrts toward
such an end. First permit the youth to
scan as it were the great divisions of the
science and afterwards he may choose that
pathway which will lead to the more use
ful and eminent distinction. Identity
should be a noble aim in every profession
while universal knowledge is the highest
accomplishment thereto. With the exam
ples before them and a true ambition at
heart tllS ?“ n s of Georgia will continue to
join the ranks whose conquests nr<3 justice
and fame. Let them consider well their
armory and drill, let them not wait till the
school has established a reputation, but go
at once to assist iu this enterprise of State
pride and improvements. A diploma from
this school entitles the bearer to bn heard
in all the tribunals of the State. The ris
ing generation should appreciate these
endeavors to build up a separate profession
simply of lawyers. The experiment is at
least in an honorable cause, and it de
volves mainly upon the graduates to prove
its success. As our State growls iu years
lei her cemetery he remembered, and the
wants of the future prompt every energy
of her citizens. Real aid and zealous in
terest will we hope make the town of Ath
ens the home of instruction equal to any
in the land. It should not be a place re
nowned for costly pile and inviting luxury,
but rather tho youth should bo sent forth
from it, carrying solid attainments, and
showing to the world that they have mould
ed symmetrical genius in the atmosphere, of
every temporal blessing. ‘Such shouhl’be
particularly the case -with tho Lumpkin
Law School. Her sons are needed. May
runny come forth from her walls fit for high
raspousibilities.
Extracts from au April Fcol Received
in Grceuesbnro.
“It was only yesterday evening while
gazing at the beautiful heavens, and watch
ing the twinkling stars, that you were
brought vividly to my mind, and I was
forced to exclaim these beautiful and senti
mental lines,
“How doth the little busy bee,
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day,
From every opening flower.”.
I guess-if you are a reader of Byron,
you have read and admired theso sweet
and expressive lines ere this. And now
kind ono can’t you turn your thoughts to
me occasionally, and anticipate the many
happy houis we may yet spend in each
otlieis society—wandering amid Magnolia
groves listening to the gay carols of the
myriads of sylvan songsters that will hover
o’er us,'and tnerily hopping from branch to
branch watching us as we eat lasses candy ;
And now for the sake of one who would
fully appreciate youi friendship, (or love
either) can’t you bestow one, passing
thought on me, and the lasses candy l
While indulging in rny day-dreams, I have
attempted to find language to express the
deep, unutterable love I have cherished lor
thee, and after searching poem after poem
through, have found the.very lines suitable
to ray case exactly, they read thus:
Let dogs delight to bark ana bito,
For God lias made them so &c &c.
I consider them so exquisite, so senti
mental soul stiring, and so applicable in my
case.”
After alluding to the privileges of “leap
year,” and saying that if she failed to cap
tivate any, some of us will “have missed
a model wife,” she concludes with these
monitions,
“Marry, marry while you can,
Ere old age advances,
Year by year as on they roll,
Away goes all your chances.”
“Aud again, if you always speak the
truth and never tell a —(l mean truth with
variations) you will get through the world
as slick as an “Eel” in a mud hole.”
Aftei chiding herself for writing ‘so much,’
congratulating her ‘sentimentality,’ aud ex
pressions of fears that the “palpitation” of
her “heart” would grow worse and per
haps prove fatal,” she said “with a wave
of the hand I bid you a hasty adieu.”
Your ever to be adored,
“MINNIE.” .
A Godless U.vvekse. —A man may,
for twenty years, believe in the immortali
ty of the soul; in the one nnd twentieth,
in some great moment, he for the first time
discovers with amazement the rich moan
ing of this belief. No one iu creation is so
alone as the denier- of God , he mourns j
with an orphaned heart that has lost its j
Great Father, by the corpse of nature, i
which no world-spirit moves and holds to- \

improvements Recommended by tbe
Art Commission.-— The Art Commission,
in thoir report, recommend several impor
tant improvements at tho Capitol. They
state that all passages which, from their
situation, caifnot bo well lighted, should
be painted simply in flat colors, with such
light ornaments as will render them light
and cheerful. More than this would be
inappropriate.” Color should be so arranged
as not to ndd to this as in the
present instance. In all places where,
stucco ornaments are exposed to constant
mutilation it is deemed useles to waste
money in painting in other than, the sim
plest inodes, as works of art would very
soon be rendered worthless and unsightly
in situations where every little breakage
or abrasion would expose the plaster un
derneath.
And the Commissioners notice, with
some surprise, that no provision has been
made for the piotection of the numerous
plaster angles which occur throughout the
halls and lobbies of both wings of the Cap
itol extension. This oversight is the more
extraordinary when they find expensive
painting and gilding, as in some of the
lower halls and in tho state room of the
Senate, where mutilations have already ta
ken place. Ornamentation in stucco is
not properly employed where permanence,
is desirable. Its meretricious character
renders it better suited to temporary pur
poses, where the employment of wood or
bronze wculd be too expensive. Through
out the building there is a redundancy of
ornamentation, cheap and showy in some
instances, and employed where ornament
is not required, like the breaking up of
large spaces into small ones, thus destroy
ing the very repose which the eyo in
stinctively seeks.
There are other instances equally incon
giuous, where expensive bronze ornaments
are fastened upon woodon doorways and
jams, much to their detriment. If it were
desirable to enrich the doorways leading to
the galleries of the Senate and House, it
should ho done by carving the ornaments
in tho same material of which the doors
were made, thus forming a part of them,
instead of their being detached and fasten
ed on afterwards. This would have secu
red harmony. The bronze employed in
Hie piesent instance,.when seen at the dis
tance of a few yards, upon a light ground,
has the effect of so many unintelligible
dark spots, incapable of light and shade in
themselves, and consequently disturbing
the general unity of the halls.
Carving in wood is a legitimate mode of
ornamentation, and is capable of being ren
dered rich and effective. Bronze and mar
ble are no less so when applied ; hut cas
tings from natural objects can never sub
serve this purpose, because they must al-.
ways be brought in contact witli modelled
or mechanically wrought surfaces, with
which, however beautiful in themselves,
they have no affinity or relation. This is
a principle in taste long-eince established,
and a departure from it is an acknowledg
ment of an inability to fulfil, or an igno
ranee of the legitimate requirements of nit.

The Crea.r Job.
That job ol jobs, tho raising of the en
tire block of builuiugson the north side of
Lake-street, from Clark to Lu Salle-strects,
is progressing rapidly. The buildings are
being undermined, tho huge timbers got
under, and to someextent, the screws have
been in operation. Persons unacquainted
with the details of raising entire blocks of
massive masonry, can form no adequate
idea of the stupendous enterprise. Avery
short time ago, when we first read of tho
raising of brick and stone buildings, we
vyero struck with amazement. Wooden
buildings were raised every day ; hut this
getting under solid walls and raising them
without shivering the superstructure into
thousands of fragments, was quite another
tiring. We regarded it in the light of an
untested and speculative theory—a hobble,
which would burst and cud in nothingness.
But ’facts are stubborn things,’ as the trite
adage expresses It; and tho fact is that
ocular demonstration, the great leveller of
unbelief and incredulity, has left us no pos
sible chance for doubt. We have seen
huge brick and stone, edifices going right
up before our eyes, several feet in the air,
propelled by the power of the mighty
screw. Every day in Chicago may he
witnessed this spectacle. The greater jior
tiou of the buildings in our most public
streets have been raised in this manner
from two to eight feet ; and those which
have not been raised, must sooner or later
come ‘up to grade.’— Chicago Herald.
