We do Dot always, unfortunately,
even from the best of preachers, gut
anything so good and practical in
regird to tie conduct of life, as the
following by Lyman Abbott, in bis
paper on “Life and Manners.” in the
Cbiutauquanfor April: “To live is
to do, and to be; ho who would do
great things, and become a grout
man, must accept, without restless
urs . or complaining, the nature
which God has conferred qpon-him.
and the place in which God has
placed him; but in that place, and
with that nature, be must seek always
tbe best companionship of men and
of books: end must always do in each
sphere, the best he can, as the first
condition of promotion to a higher
place and better work.”

W« give m another column tbij
morning * very interesting interview
with tbe President of tbe Griffin
Board of Trade in regard to tho new
freight, rate* which there ia now no
doubt that Griffin will aecure, and
which will probably go into effect by
the first of neat month. We do not
think that the advantages to Griffin
of these reduced ratea have beet
exaggerated by Mr. Brewer, but on
tbe contrary that it is almost impos
sible to estimate the benefits thereby
conferred. It i» andoubtudiy true
that nothing in tbe history of Griffin
bas happened more important than
ibis item which enables us fo com¬
pete successfully with our largi r
neighbors on each side.
In thus presenting tbe matter, we
do not entertain any doubt but wbat
tbe Central will be able to obtain
tbe same percentage that it is now
getting, and upon which alone it it
now apparently baiting. The western
ro*ds wiil receive the same amount
as heretofore, and it can easily be ar
ranged so that the Central wilt not
lose by making a shorter haul.
It is natural to inquire what has
brought about this great and desiri
hie change, and the true and only
reason is presented in the close of
Mr. Brewer’s remarks. Without the
Georgia Midland, Griffin would still
be. a way station on the Central and
eutitied to no more rights than
Baroesville, Hampton or Milner. It
is this one new factor which in less
than twelve months bas transformed
ibe whole carrying business of tbo
place, and made Griffin a competitive
point on the railroad maps of the
United States. Tbe saving of freights
by the new rates has beeu placed at
$25,000 a year, but Mr. Brewer says
b;tt this is a low estimate and it
may not be too high at $30,000.
This is the amount of Griffin’s sub¬
scription to the Georgia .Midland
paid hack within less than a year
from the time trains commenced to
run—one hundred percent, dividend
in nine months time, without esti¬
mating the saving in passenger rates
and the advertisement given to the
city by the enterprise shown
in securing this road. Never
was the benefit of a railroad more
strikingly and practically democstrat
ed.
Wtiii this showing, no possible ex
cuse is left to any honest man to
fight the payment of his subscrip
tiou. The road his acted in good
faith, bulieving that its subscribers
would do the same, and it will be
a gross rellectiou upon tbe city, and
ono that will be feit, if they do not.
Tbo line is not yet completed and
i s further extension is greatly de
sired: bnt tbo Northern capitalists
who have invested their money on
the strength of popular subscriptions
will have little confidence in goiDg
further notil these snb 0 criptions are
pai 1. New lines have been sniveyed
into the town since, and the projec
tors are watching with lively interest
the wav in which Griffin rewaids
rniitoids for coming here. Let us
pay up and go ahead.

It is well in peace, 10 in war, to
have an ear for what the enemy is
saying. Thi« is vsfiat the X. V. Trib
une says:
It is the business of the majority
to reduce the revenue, ami to do it
in a wise and proper way. If the
majority is irtcapahle, or so fanatical
ly fond of free trade theories that it
can propose nothing fit to be adopted,
that is the business of those who in
trusted power to such a party, and
among them stands Mr. Randall.
That is tusc a* applied to the slen
det Democratic majority in the
House. The Democratic party is
responsible there for reducing the
cursed surplus. In the Senate the
Republicans will have their turn at
responsibility, but yet they will es
cape responsibility unless Democrats
in the House quickly unite and send
a bill to the Senate.

Thar has been one
pened recently that so fer I have not heerd
auy constroversy concerniu, and that
is Washington's birthday. Congress
ajourned over a day. and all the public
offises cloeed ther dores in onuer of the
day without a dissentin voise, and I wuz
glad 1 * sea it, fer it shows we air one
when it conies to a question of national
patriotism. The day was as butifnl as
ewer the snn shone on, and the intire
population of the capital citty turned out
to enjoy therselves and thank the Lord that
a Washington had been born to them
that made all this possible. In lookiti
over history 1 find the names of
a good many men that have made
the world better, but thar aint
one in the whole lot that can
bold a candle to our George. He
not only set us on the ladder which
we have cluin so gloriously to, but he
made the ladder, and filled the dirt in fer
it to stand on, and he done It agin an op-
persition that would hav douned any man
that has lived before er sence. He is the
only man I can reecollect that had as
much confidence in his foresites as he had
in hi# hindsites, and he went rite ahed,
knoin that he was layin the way fer a
perresslon like the world had newer
dreemed of. He could here the footsteps
of the millions comin behind him and he
newer flickered but kep rite on. knowin
that he would newer git thar himself,
but that whar be laid down a gide board
would be put up that the advancin per-
cession could newer git out of site of. and
that, lookin back through centuries ol
progress, they could see it raisin its hc-d
to the be wins and pintin the way still
onard and uppard.
Sosiety in Washington is got purty nigh
as much of a ded lock in to it as legisla¬
tion has, and Lent is exercisin a good tleel

rush jist before it sot in. aint
like men in ther dissipatin. It always
takes a man a good while to taper off, but
wimmen dont taper at all. They jist go
bustin ahed for all thar is in it, and then
they quit right thar, and yistiddy aint nc
more in ther heds today than if it was the
day before creation. I’ve notist at home,
when me and Mandy would come home
from tbe Wayback county fair, that it
took my bed about a week to go down,
but the verry next mornin Mandy would
be out in her caliker dress and blue tlrillin
apern. knockin the pots and kittds around,
slappin the childern's jaws, shouin the
chickens out of the garden, jawin me fer
be in late to brekfus, and stirrin up the
place generlly, jist as ef thar hadent
been a fair in Waybaek for forty yrrs.
The president and his wife went down
to Floiidy on a picnic the fore part of hist
week; and down thar whar the allegater
blooms all the yer round, whar the fra¬
grant sand flies fills the summer air.
whar the orringe bloom and the rosebud
throws kisses to the soft blue sky, they
got a peaceful, quiet rest that the mar¬
kets of the national capital can't furnish,
and they came back to the White House
feeliu like new peeple. It's a mity good
thing fer the president to get off on these
excursions and have some fun, fer he
don’t git much here, whar the keers of
state and ofhseseekers And pattriots pester
the life out of him, and make kim want
to give up his job er strike fer higher
wages. Thar's onner and glory in bein
president of this grate and gloryous re¬
public, but they don’t come cheep, and
the pattriot that thinks they do mite ns
well change his mind. I know what it is
to be a congressman with one deestrict to
look after, and ef I had them all and the
thousands of other, things beside* that has
to be tended to run a government any¬
thing like smooth. Id* want my livver to

Tolfttoi'a Physiology of War.
1 'At the battle of Borodino Napoleon
did not attack anybody or kill anybody.
That duty was performed by his soldiers.
He did not do any killing himself. The
soldiers of the French army, in going to
the battle of Borodino to kill Russian sol¬
diers, were obeying, not Napoleon’s or¬
ders, but their own impulses. The
whole army of French. Italians, Ger¬
mans, Poles, famished and in rags,
worn out by tho campaign, felt at
sight of tho Russian army hairing the
road to J Iosco iv that tho wine was un¬
corked and they had only to rush in and
drink. If at this Napoleon had forbid¬
den them to fight the Russians, they
would have killed him and given battle;
for to them a battle was necessary. When
they heard the proclamations cf Napoleon,
which, in exchange for wounds and
death, offered them as a consolation the
homage of posterity, and proclaimed as
heroes those who showed fight through
the Muscovite campaign, they cried,
‘Vive rEmpereur!' as they cried ‘Vive
rEmpereur’ at sight of the child holding
the terrestrial globe at the end of a bilbo-
quet stick; and they would Juive re¬
sponded with the 6ame vivat to any non¬
sense proffered to them. There was
nothing Ixtter for them to do than to
cry ‘Vive 1'EmpereurP and fight in order
to reach Moscow, food, repose and vic¬
tory. It was not at Napoleon’s order
that they undertook to kill their fellow
men. — Tolstoi’s ‘Napoleon and the
Russian Campaign.”
