80uThe Atlanta Constitution of the
9th instant, pays the following just tri
bute to Col. A. A. Gaulding, who was
so long a popular and esteemed citizen
of this city, prior to his removal to At
lanta:
“Death of Col. A. A. Gauldino.—-
Col. Archibald A. Gaulding died in this
city yesterday, in the 64th year of his
age, a victim of consumption.
“Col. Gaulding was a man of benev
olent nature. He stood high in the
Masonic Fraternity; occupied, during
his life many responsible public sta
tions; in 1847 was a member of the
Legislature from Pike county; subse
quently held the offices of Surveyor
General of the State and Auditor of
the State Boad; was for several years
one of the proprietors and editor of
the Empire Stats, published at Griffin
before the war; and subsequently one
of the proprietors and editors of the
Atlanta Intelligencer, upon the edito
rial staff of which he was employed at
the time of his decease. Holding offi
ces of high trust in the State, he dis
charged the duties they imposed upon
him acceptably and faithfully.
His remains were sent to Griffin yes
terday for interment. “He giveth the
weary rest.”

The Bother of Interest. Henry
Ward Beecher, saying as much as he
does, does sometimes say a good thing.
His views on interest are worth trans
fering to the paper. “No blister,” he
says, “draws sharper than the blister
interest does. Os aH industries, none
is comparable to that of interest. It
works all day and night, in fair weath
er and foul. It has no sound on its
footsteps, but travels fast. It gnaws
at a man’s substance with invisible
teeth. It binds industry with its film
as a fly is bound in a spider web.—
Debts roll a man over and over, bind
ing hand and foot, and letting him
hang upon the fatal mesh until the
long-legged interest devours him.—
There is but one thing on a farm like
it, and that is the Oanoda thistle, which
swarms new plants every time you
break its roots, whose blossoms are
prolific, and every flower the father of
a million seeds. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch a spear, and every plant
like a plattoon of bayonets, and a field
of them like an armed host The whole
plant is a torment and vegetable curse.
And yet a fanner had better make his
bed of Canada thistles than attempt to
be at ease upon interest”
The Seven Wonders of the World.
—First the Egyptian Pyramids; the
largest of these is 693 feet sqnare, and
460 feet high, and its base covers Ilf
acres of ground.
Second, the Mausoleum, erected to
Mausolus, a king of Caria, by his widow,
Artemisia; it was 93 feet long and 36
feet high.
Third, the Temple of Diana, at Ephe
sus; this was 525 feet in length and 220
feet in breadth.
Fourth, the walls and hanging gar
dens of Babylon. These walls are stated
by Herodotus to have been 88 feet thick,
350 feet high, and 50 miles in length,
and the statements deemed credible by
modern antiquarians.
Fifth, the Colossus, at Rhodes; this
was a brazen stvtue of Apollo. 105 feet
in height, standing at the mouth of the
harbor of Rhodes.
Sixth, the statue of Jupiter Olympus,
at Athens, whioh was made of ivory and
gold, and was wonderful for its beauty
rather than size.
Seventh, the Pharoßof Ptolemy Phil
adelphia; this was a lighthouse 500 feet
high, in Egypt; a wood fire being kept
burning on its summit duringthe bight
to guide ships into harbor.

Many inquiries having been made at
•this office regarding the provisions of
of SeohSgU «dthe
timethe same went into effect, would
be of general interest to the community.
I would therefore respectfully request
their publication. „ s ,
SecUbhflWt of theacit oftlongress,
approved Jsdy . 14th, 1870. repeals all
special taxes (licenses,) except those on
distillers, wholesale and retail liquor
dealers, manufacturers and dealers in
tobacco and cigars, and brewers;
and takes effect pn and after May Ist,
1871.
Section second of said act repeals all
taxes on sales, saving and excepting
sales paid by stamps (distilled spirits,
tobacoo and segar stamps,) and the
taxes on the sales of leaf tobacco, man
ufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars, and
foreign and domestic distilled spirits
and wines; and takes effect on and af
ter October Ist, 1870.
Section third of said act repeals all
taxes on articles in schedule A, (carri
ages, gold watches, billiard tables, gold
and silver plate;) the special tax on
boats, barges and fiats; on legacies
and successions; on passports; and
on gross receipts: and takes effect
on and after the Ist day of October,
1870.
Section four of said act repeals the
.stamp tax on promissory notes for a less
sum than one hundred dollars, on re
ceipts for any sum of money or for the
payment of any debt, on canned and
preserved fish, and on the transfer or
assignmeet of a mortgage where it, or
the instrument it secures, has been
once duly stamped; and takes effect
on and after the Ist day of October,
1870.
Section five of said act changes the
penalty from fifty dollars to double the
amount of tax (bat in no case to be less
than five dollars) against all persons
who fail or neglect to affix the proper
and necessary stamp to any paper,
document or writing required bylaw
to be stamped; and also extends the
time when the Collector is authorized
to stamp papers or documents, without
the penalty, to July 13th, 1871, when,
in the opinion of the Collector, such
papers were issued without stamps,
through mistake, or without willful in
tent to defraud the United States; and
also extends the time where no Collec
tion District iB established for Collect
or to stamp papers, and make valid in
Court, all snch papers, as evidence, to
January Ist, 1872.
Section six of said act reduces the
tax upon incomes to two and a half per
centum upon all amounts over two
thousand dollars for the year 1870 and
1871.
The above are the more important
changes in the Revenue laws affecting
the public at large, as enacted by the
last Congress. W. 0. Morrill,
Collector,
Girls, don’t talk Slang 1 Girls,
don’t talk slang 1 If it is necessary
that any one in the family should do
that, let your big brother, though I
would advise him not to talk “Pigeon
English,” when there is an elegant sys
iouiaUnod louigucago tiami ko ocma jnni «mb
well use, but don’t yon do it! Yon
havo no idea how it sounds to ears un
used or averse to it, to hear a young
lady, when she is asked to attend some
place of amusement, answer—“not
or if requested to do something
*she does not wish to—“can’t see it 1”
Not long ago I heard a Miss, who is
educated and accomplished, say in
speaking of a young man, that she in
tended to “go for him !” and when her
sister asked her assistance at some
Vork, she answered—“not for Joe 1”
Now young ladies of unexceptional
character and really good education,
fall into this habit, thinking it shows
smartness to answer back in slang
Ehrase; and they soon slip flippantly
:om their tongues with a saucy pert
ness that is not lady-like or beooming.
Young men vfho talk in that way, do
not care to hear it from the lips they
love or admire. It sounds much coar
ser then. And really, slang does not
save time in use of language, as an ab
breviation. No 1 is shorter and more
decided than “not much” —“I’m sure,”
is quite as easily said as “I’ll bet!”
More than promising wedding has
been indefinitely postponed by such
means; for however remiss young men
may be themselves, they look for bet
ter things in the girls of their choice;
and it does not help them to mend a
bad habit to adopt it too.
Let Us Help One Another. —This
little sentence should be written on ev
ery heart, stamped on every memory.
It should be the golden rule practiced
not only in every household, but
throughout the world. By helping
one another we not only remove thorns
from the pathway, and anxiety from
the mind, but we feel a sense oi pleas
ure in our hearts, knowing we are do
ing a duty to a fellow creature. A
helping or encouraging word is no loss
to us, yet it is a benefit to others.—
Who has not needed the encourage
ment and aid of a kind friend? How
soothing, when perplexed with some
task that is mysterious and burden
some, to feel a gentle hand on the
shonlder, and hear akind voice whisp
ering, “Do not feel discouraged—l see
you’re troubled—let me help you.”—
What strength is inspired—what hope
created—what Bweet gratitude is felt,
and the great difficulty is dissolved
like due beneath the sunshine.—Yes,
let us help one another by endeavor
ing to strengthen and encourage the
weak, lifting the burden of care from
the weary andjoppressed, that life may
glide smoothly on and the fount of bit
terness yield sweet waters; and he
whose ready hand is ever willing to aid
us, will reward onr humble endeavors,
and every good deed will be as “bread
cast npon the waters, to return after
many days,” if not to us, to those we
love.
A. Sporting Editor.—The Louisville
Commercial gives the following sketch
of one of its stall:
“Our spotting editor is the only one
who is not from the North. He is
from Georgia, where he was born and
partly raised. He amassed quite a
fortune during the late war by dealing
“faro” for Confederate money. But he
woke up one morning after the fall of
Richmond a poor man indeed. In his
young days he was a race rider, and
can now tell the pedigree of any race
horse that ia mentioned, with a fluen
cy that is only excelled by the man
that sells blacking on the street oorner.
After he beasme too eld to ride races,
" ", "
fighter, but finding no one to back
him, he retired to Washington, and
carried brick on the capitol extension
for several weeks. Amassing in this a.
checkered pair of pants, * beaver hat,
a striped shirt, red vest, and twenty
five dollars in money, he went to New
Orleans and kept docs: in a gambling
hell. While there, the war broke out,
and he joined the Perritt Guards and
went ont to protect his rights. After
“bracing” the company, he deserted
and joined an Arkansas regiment and
dealt faro as above stated. We have
no trouble in sending oar sporting ed
itor off after news. The trouble is in
getting him back. He always get
broke—never wins. He bet his “ex
pense money” and railroad pass that
Allen would whip Mace at New Or
leans, and we had to send, him money
to come home on. This ni'onep he lost
on a chicken fight, and finally worked
his way up the river on a tow boat.’’
A Short Boad.—A correspondent
dating at Old Dominion, writes:—“A
neighbor of ours has a very pretty
daughter, who was surrounded by a
host of admirers. Among the most
assiduous was a conceited coxcomb,
and withal a thundering fooL Not
withstanding his unremitting atten
tions, the lady married an unassuming
farmer, and the fop, in about nine
days, (the usual period, I believe, with
puppies,) showed evident symptoms of
madness. Old Uncle Amos, who is
full of shrewd negro wit, while paying
his respects to his mistress, one Sun
day morning shortly after, was told of
the lamentable fact, when he broke
out:
“Dat hifalutin’ gemman den went
and gone mad ?—what fur, mistns ?”
“Because your Miss Carrie wouldn’t
have him.”
“Well,” says Amos, after a prelimi
nary scratch of his kinky head, and a
mischiovious twinkle in his black eye,
“well, mistns, dare’s ond thing sortin
—he didn’t have fur to go 1”
couple of Dutchmen—the one
named Schneiders, the other Snatz,
always very friendly together—had a
serious falling ont concerning a dog.
It appears that Schneider accidentally
killed a dog belonging to the other.—
This so exasperated Snatz that he sued
for damages. The case was taken to
Court, and the defendant was asked by
the Judge if he killed the dog. “Pres
ure, dat’s so,” said Schneider. “I did
kill him, but dat’s his pizness to proof
dat.” This satisfied the Judge; he
put a few qustions to the owner of the
dog. The Judge asked him what dam
ages he wished, or, in other words,
what he estimated his dog to be worth.
“Veil,” said Snatz, “presnre dat dog
ish worth nothing; bat since Schnei
der zas so mean ash to kill dat dog, he
must pay for de full value of him.”

THE BLOOD IN SUMMER.
The blood deteriorate* lu hot weather. Profuso
perspiration deprives It of a portion of Its nourish
ing and reproductive properties. Consequently, in
summer, the muscles lack their usual elasticity and
vigor, and the weight of the body diminishes. These
are clear Indications that the ordinary supply of the
principle afforded by the food we eat,
is not sufficient to meet the requirements of the sys
tem under t high temperature. Them Is another rea
son for this, besldlea the dlreot Influence of the heat,
viz: tholoss of appetite and the weakening of the di
gestive powers which it occasions. Under these cir
cumstances a wholesome invigorant la evidently need
ed. and the beat and aafeat is Hoatetter’a Stomach
Bitters. This admirable vegetable tonic and altoratlve,
acts favorably upon tho system in several ways. It
increases the appetito and faolliates digestion, thereby
lnoling the stomach to receive and enabling It to as
similate a due amount of nourishment. It alao tones
the relaxed secretive organs and the bowela. Under
its operations the process of emaciation, occasioned
by the drain through the pores, is arrested, the whole
frame refreshed and Invigorated, and the spirits ex
hilarated. Tho dyspeptic, tho billions, the nervous,
the debilitated, scarcely need to be told that It Is pre
cisely the stimulant and corrective they ought to take
at this season. Thousands of them know the fact by
experience. Nothing in the pharacopiela (or out of it)
will anpply Its place—least of all the trashy local nos
trums which some unscrupulous dealers would bo
glad, for the benefit of their own pockets, to peddle
ont In Its stead.

BAD BLOOD!
‘The Life is the Blood.’
T7ROM it we derive onr strength,
JL beauty, and menial capabilities. It is the centre
of our being, around which revolves all that miked
existence happy. When this source ia corrupted, the
painful efforts aro visible la many shapes, prominent
among which is
HCROFULA.
This Is a taint or Infection of tho human organism,
and probably no one ia wholly free from It. It exhib
its itself in various shapes—as Uloers and Sores, De
cayed Bones, Diseased Scalp, Sore Eyes, Weak aud
Diseased Joints, St. Vitos’ Dance. Foul Discharges
from the Nostrils, Eruptions, Glandular Swellings,
Throat Affections, Bhenmatism, Heart Affections, Ner
vous Disorders, Barrenness, Disorders of the Womb,
Dropsy, Syphilitic Affections, Liver Complaint, Salt
Rheum, Dyspepsia, Neuralgia, Loss of Manhood aud
General Debility,
It has been the custom to treat these diseases with
Mercury and other Mlnoral substances, which though
sometimes producing a cure, often prove Injurious
and entails misery in after life. The long known In
jurious properties of these so-called alteratives aud
purifiers, has led the phUasthropical man of scieuce
to explore the arena of nature, the result of whioh
has been the diaoovory of vegetable produots which
gowess the power of eradicating these taints from the
