Huckleberry Cordial j ORE HI RDUED PER LEST. 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. «BrCHC-i*AIBA.r* ytihk complete cure of Catarrh of the {ladder, all annoying fl.

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 more influents than anyboddv would n thought possible to have saw Wiinmen the mad 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.

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.” Were all wise enough to heed this advice tn i season, a world of suffering would be avoided, The best months in which to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, ths great blood purifier, are March April May At no other season is the body so much in need of, or so susceptible to the benefit to be derived from IIuoU's Sarsaparilla, as now.
